Along with adding talent to the cornerback position, bolstering an ailing pass rush is a major offseason priority for the Green Bay Packers.
Looking at the numbers alone and you’d think Green Bay’s pass rush is amongst the league’s best. With 40 sacks, the Packers were tied for sixth in the NFL. But you have to dig much deeper to fully understand the situation.
Of those 40 sacks, 11 belonged to Nick Perry, a free-agent-to-be. It was easily the best year of an otherwise underwhelming career for the former first-round pick, one plagued by injuries.
