Nick Perry 1) Introduction:  Packers outside linebacker Nick Perry was the team’s first round draft pick in 2012 (28th overall).  Perry was thought to be high on Green Bay’s list and sure enough, he was their selection on draft day.  Having been primarily a defensive end at Southern Cal, Perry was said to be a project for the Packers, who planned to use Perry standing up as an outside linebacker opposite Clay Matthews. 2) Profile: Nick Perry Age: 22 Born: 4/12/1990 in Detroit, MI Height: 6’03″ Weight: 265 College: Southern California Rookie Year: 2012 NFL Experience: 1 year Career Stats and more 3) Expectations coming into the season:  The hope was that Perry would be an immediate and regular contributor to the team’s pass rush and start opposite Clay Matthews on the left side.  Perry showed some burst in training camp but it was clear early on that he would need guidance in learning a new position and at the next level.  Perry understood the team’s expectations and spent much tim...

Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers Share Awkward Moment at NFL Honors Awards Show (Video)

In the years since Brett Favre moved on from Green Bay and eventually retired (with pit stops in New York and Minnesota), it’s been discovered that the relationship between the legendary quarterback and his successor, Aaron Rodgers, was bristly at best.

The Dolphins desperately need another top receiver, Jennings has three 1,000-yard seasons, two Pro Bowls and a Super Bowl ring on his resume, he will be a free agent in March, the Packers seem content to let him walk, and the Dolphins’ coach, Joe Philbin, was his...
