Nick Perry gave the Green Bay Packers $5 million in production in 2016 with a team-leading 11 sacks – something Packers fans and coaches have been waiting on for five years.
But that five million came on a single season, $5 million contract that now comes due with the start of free agency this week.
Does Green Bay GM Ted Thompson stick to his mantra of “signing his own” players or does he continue to stick to his draft and develop philosophy in the case of Nick Perry?
Thompson drafted Perry in the first round of 2012, a decision that, at the time, was applauded across Packers Nation.
