    Who first, Neal or Perry? I vacillate on that choice. As they exist today, I would probably take Neal; but, I have a feeling Perry has potential yet to reach, whereas I see Neal as all he will ever be. Perry doesn't turn 26 until April, still young with time to develop. In two or three years, he could be a better player than he is today. I don't think that is true for Neal.

      I'd take Neal over Perry, but they both bring positives to the field.

      Perry is tough, strong. Can effectively lock out and control OT's to set the edge. Isn't great at disengaging, but he's okay. In the nickel, he's a much better fit outside than Clay is; while at the same time, Clay is the best ILB we have on the roster. So Perry's emergence has filled two holes and helped give the defense some backbone.

      On the other side, Neal is probably the most consistent outside pass rusher we have. His consistent pressure from LOLB/LDE needs to be recognized. Don't break the bank - but pay the man.

      Of Guion, Neal, Perry and Raji - I'd have Raji last on that wish list.

        If I knew each would be healthy, I'd take Perry. That's not the case, so I lean towards Neal.

          Yet, Perry played a lot more games in his 4 years than Neal did in his first 4. I'm hoping Perry matures physically into a more reliable player, just as Neal did.

            Perry has a little Cullen Jenkins in him. Every year he has a nagging problem. Usually shoulder, sometimes foot.

            Also, Perry is better in run support on edge than either Neal or Clay, but Clay is best if he has to drop to coverage. Not close either way. Perry on edge and Clay in middle was the basic reason the run defense improved after the by week last year.
            Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

              I'd take Perry just slightly over Neal. Its normal to watch entire NFL games without seeing an pass rusher soundly beat a tackle who knows he's coming low around the edge for a sub 2 second sack. The last two or three of them I remember seeing from a Packer have all been from Perry and they seem to be more and more frequent.

              I like them both but if one of them is going to be a steal in their second contract I'd guess Perry.

                That's the thing, Neal will be in his third contract, his 7th season.

                  Raji was pretty good. In 2010.

                    Like everyone else, he started off this year like a house on fire but got banged up and slowed.

                      Otherwise, all the money is in base salary, offseason bonuses and weekly roster bonuses. Almost half of it, in fact, will be paid in the weekly per-game roster bonuses ($50,000 per game), as the Packers don’t want to put themselves on the hook for and potential absences. He has a pair of $250,000 roster bonuses due in May and August this year, and a pair of $400,000 roster bonuses next year as well.

                        My guess is that the Packers will now play wait-and-see with Raji, Neal, and Perry. I wonder if they're negotiating with Crosby, though.
