[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 768640"] Yup. There's zero leverage with that dead cap against a 2018 cap number of $10.75 mil. Paying the roster bonus closes the book on that. There will be next to no leverage in 2019 with only $3.6 mil in cap savings if released. Perry is like Clinton-Dix in that he wasn't as good as many thought in 2016 and not as bad as they think he was in 2017. He missed 4 games and played a few others with a club last season. Edge rushing with one hand is a serious liability. Sure, the complaint is he's been injury prone. But you cannot do anything about that now with this deal. You're not rolling the dice on his health; you're stuck with it However, if there's one guy who would benefit most from a scheme change that features "aggressivness", as is Pettine's stated plan, it would be Perry. Capers Job #1 for edge rushers is pocket contain. That takes tools out of the edge rusher's tool box. Dipping and ripping and getting ridden behind the pocket or freelancing an inside move and getting stoned gets you a -3 on a scale of +2 to -2 in the world according to Capers.
