After testing the free-agency waters, outside linebacker Nick Perry has decided to remain with the only NFL team he has ever known. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Tom Silverstein, Perry has agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal to return to the Green Bay Packers. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the contract also includes playtime incentives.
The length of the deal suggests that Perry didn't find too much interest on the open market. Like many players in that situation, the linebacker took a one-year "prove it" contract in the hopes of boosting his value for next offseason, whether with the Packers or another team.
