[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 818498"] There's a large gap between $1.5 - $2.5 mil and "starter money". What Perry is worth in the free market is somewhere in between if he can pass a physical. Over the years he's had wrist, hand an ankle surgery, but at least this most recent trip to IR with a knee injury did not require surgery from what I can tell, maybe a sprain. If Perry reneogitated into that modest money from the perspective that he didn't earn his signing bonus and wanted to "give back", that would make him an exceedingly rare duck. As for those that want to outright cut Perry and not resign Matthews, you need to get into who else ya got and who you can get. As noted above, keeping Perry with an effective cap-cost-to-keep of $9.2 mil compounded by whatever Matthews would cost in resigning (some like this idea) looks pretty foolish considering how that cap could otherwise be utilized. Better to get rid of both, sign a FA (or just sign Matthews to a modest deal) and then look for another edge in rounds 1-2 (who probably isn't going to show that much in year 1 as edge players tend to follow the progression of WRs). I would caution that Fackrell is not nearly the player that his sack total this past season suggests, but would probably do fine if paired with a guy a who can go get 'em. Even if one believes sights should be set beyond 2019 as I do, you can't get rid of everybody who is not playing up to their contract or who is showing signs of age and/or accumulated injuries. What are you left with if you ditch Matthews, Cobb, Bulaga, Graham, Perry, T. Williams and even Daniels? Holes on top of holes. That might be fine if you're Oakland, already mired in losing habits and looking to clean the slate. The Packers are on the cusp of falling into such habits, Rodgers injuries notwithstanding. You want to maintain at least the possibility of playoff competitiveness or at least a 9 win season to show progress and not go down the rabbit hole. [/QUOTE]
