His take was yes. His take was also that the way MM spoke so glowingly about him before the Carolina game that maybe Peppers was one of the many reasons MM was pissed off at the roster. IIRC we didn't offer Peppers anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Perry is healthy, he's easily a reliable pass rusher.... .....when he is healthy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we didn’t keep Peppers was because the hope was there was hope someone would step up between Fackrell, Biegel, and J Elliot. Biegel got hurt, Fackrell was a disappointment, J Elliot was seem as worse than Fackrell and was traded/cut. A Brooks was a camp cap cut by SF and was seem a stop gap.

Which further pissed off some I'm sure. Next man up hasn't worked in quite a while now. I have been trying to connect the dots in my head since the fireworks started. I may be wrong, but I have most of the dots connected I'd like to think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppers was gone before Biegel was even drafted. I am guessing the hope was improvement from Fackrell and Elliott. Possibly a EDGE rusher was desired earlier in the draft, but a good amount of them were gone by the mid 2nd IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been trying to connect the dots in my head since the fireworks started. I may be wrong, but I have most of the dots connected I'd like to think I’m not debating this. I completely agree. Especially pass rushers, it is kind of wishful thinking to think you’ll strike gold. http://m.espn.com/nfl/leagueleaders?groupId=9&season=2017&seasonType=3&statgroup=defense&category=sacks Looking at players who finished in the top 30 in sacks, only like 6 players were taken outside the top 70 (C Lawson, G Adkins, E Griffen all had character flags or would have gone higher... cam wake, m Bennett, and M Addison were 3 of about 2000 undrafted players a year) If you have a 7+ potential sack guy, you kind of have to keep him. It’s also wishful thinking to think average athlete Biegel, Fackrell, Elliot will come out of nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still they knew they were going to take one in the first several rounds (likely not round 1 since they could have taken Watt but passed and the board didn’t have a ton of rushers late 1-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOnlyThing Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Does anyone know if this is accurate from Demovsky's piece below? "After the 2018 season, the Packers could move on from Perry and actually gain salary-cap space." http://www.espn.com/blog/green-bay-packers/post/_/id/37824/nick-perrys-contract-with-packers-not-as-monstrous-as-it-seems There is nothing I'd like more for this never should have been drafted, overpaid, nothingburger to be sent on his way along with Clay after this season, but I'm not sure its correct.

If we don't cut him, we have a 14.7M cap hit for him. If we do, it's 11.1M. So yeah, we save 3.6M minus whatever his replacement makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
