    Z. Smith was a bit of a project coming in to the NFL, he wasn't a first round draft pick that got rotational snaps off the bat. He has slowly improved throughout his career. We can compare stats, I like that, but I think potential is what got the Smith's their contract, and what got Perry cut.

      Yup. Perry's highest future potential is to be on the injury report.

        Yep. Perry is 29, he's not going to get any better. He sets the edge well vs. the run and can bull rush, but the Smiths are younger, healthier, and still in their prime.
        And yes, when healthy he's better than Fackrell or Gilbert.

          Well, as someone pointed out, the team is carrying his dead cap money, so it seems unlikely they'd then sign him - again - and pay him more. Maybe they'll pick up some UDFA who can play ST and convince them he might develop.

            You should be able to sign a player who is dead money on your cap for some kind of cap benefit. Veterans and teams spending cash all benefit.

            Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

              UDFA Greg Roberts from Baylor got 65K of his salary guaranteed. I'm guessing the odds of him being on the roster are a lot higher than Peri.
