In fact, we’ll make a couple of them for them right now. Mike Neal: good riddance. Nick Perry: $1.2 million annually to be a solid backup.
That’s right, we’re talking about outside linebackers here.
Frankly, there’s no reason to believe the Packers will be any worse off at that position in 2016. In fact, they should be improved.
As we’ve detailed, Neal was fucking garbage in 2015, yet he played twice as many snaps as Perry, who was actually solid. That matters little though, since Clay Matthews is coming back to his beloved outside linebacker position in 2016.
