[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 792459"] It's an example of the "silent guarantee" that signing bonus dead cap provides: [URL]https://overthecap.com/player/nick-perry/1129/[/URL] If, as you say, this is as good as it gets, the $14.7 mil cap number in 2019 superficially suggests moving on. But that's not the relevant number. The relevant number is the $3.6 mil cap savings after dead cap. So the question becomes what kind of edge rusher can you buy for even a rotational role for $3.6 mil? Not much, with Matthews being in a contract year weighing on the matter. The cap savings goes to $6.9 mil in 2020 at which point there would be a question if, for example, the Packers draft an edge in the next two years who comes roaring out of the gate and takes the lions share of his snaps, or what is likely to be the less expensive Gilbert who is already taking some of his snaps. We would hope this is just another of the many Perry temporary setbacks, an issue not making the injury report. The concern is that the sequence of events is not "injured, 100%, injured, 100%, rinse and repeat." Repeated injuries over many years can take a mental as well as physical toll that isn't reversed. And he would not be the first guy who's hunger to win every snap is diminished by a slug of money in the bank. [/QUOTE]
