M.10.E Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Don't hate it. Give him one more TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywabbit Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I wanted to make a poll for this decision. I thought this would happen. Hard to walk away from the first round investment/athletic gifts. Also his (hypothetical) skillset is unique among the group. Going to be interesting to see how the final cut downs shake out. He could still be cut. The 650k could just be for a longer look.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 650k just to keep him around for camp before we cut him is worth it, IMHO. He's as good as gone, but 650k is pennies on the dollar to just give the guy a shot in camp to see if he's learned ANYTHING over the past offseason.

warrenblue Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Can't disagree with the decision. Even Matt Elam was given 4 years to show something. Breshad at least showed flashes. Elam couldn't even tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He truly looked like a player that was turning the corner, and primarily because he was playing at the SS position around the box where he was comfortable. Then he got injured and that was it.

Danand Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Insurance I guess. If we suddenly have 2 receivers going down, there might be some use for Perriman as a backup/one trick pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I'm nit sure I'd it was his first year or second, but there was a brief period where Elam looked like a worthwhile pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was not the position or the injury. He couldn't tackle to save his life. I still have nightmares with Amendola's TD. Both showed little to nothing, but if Elam had 4 years to show something, then Perriman deserves the shot as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that season, he was a pretty damn solid tackler. I specifically remember the Pittsburgh game at night where he was all over the field making tackles. That's my larger point - he seemed to really be turning a corner, whereas the first couple of years he was just shoulder tackling and trying to make big hits everywhere while we played him at FS and slot CB. He couldn't cover, he couldn't play deep, and his tackling looked horrible. But in that last year, he turned it around for those first few games until his injury.
