Packers 2016 Offseason

Depending on cost, I wonder if they might go after Perry instead of Neal.

There were times this year when Perry just tossed around OL like they were nothing. He is just 25, won't turn 26 for another 3 months. I think he might be just starting to figure out how to be a pro, especially with so many nagging injuries his first few years. I would like to see him spend another couple years, at least, in GB.

Neal is 3 years older, and probably is about all he ever will be at this point. I actually do like him, and he seems to want to stay.

Some have always questioned if Perry really wants to do what he does in GB, and that might be the deciding factor. He has control now, and if he really does want to get away from a 3-4 defense, this is his opportunity to do so. I just have a feeling he could still turn out to be a guy the Packers regret losing.

Very true, and we may finally answer whether he wants to be a 4-3 DE or not. I also agree with the earlier part that he might be more valuable than Neal.

Much will depend on the injury question. I suspect the Packers know the shoulder situation well enough to assess the risk.
