Henderson/Getty ImagesSlowly but surely, plans are coming together for the Green Bay Packers’ third preseason game in 2019, a contest that will be against the Oakland Raiders. The location of this game remains in question, but as of Thursday morning we have some new information suggesting that the plans are nearing completion.Previously, Packers team president Mark Murphy said at the NFL’s Annual Meeting in March that the two sites under consideration for the game were in Canada: either Winnipeg
Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey , Manitoba or a site in Saskatchewan, likely in the city of Regina where the CFL’s Roughriders play. This morning, however, Murphy indicated in an interview with ESPN Radio’s Wilde and Tausch that Winnipeg is the selection, and that details are being finalized.The Packers have not played in a game outside of the United States in over two decades, and they have only done so twice in the team’s history. Both games came in the late 1990s
JK Scott Jersey , as they played a 1997 preseason game against the Buffalo Bills in Toronto then followed that up with a contest against the Kansas City Chiefs in Tokyo, Japan.Packers fans would not be losing out on a home game, however, as two of the team’s other exhibition contests in 2019 are at Lambeau Field. The Packers will open the preseason slate against the Houston Texans before closing training camp with a date against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, Murphy said that Lambeau would be the backup plan if the Winnipeg deal falls through, which would give Green Bay a highly unusual third preseason game at home.For now
Kevin King Jersey , Packers fans in the general vicinity of Winnipeg can start getting excited about seeing their team come to town in August. Perry’s inability to remain healthy proves his ultimate undoing in Green Bay"To quote the old kids’ show Phineas and Ferb, “Hey, where’s Perry?”Soon it won’t be in Green Bay, Wisconsin.Even with the addition of edge rushers Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith, the Green Bay Packers were planning on releasing veteran outside linebacker Nick Perry per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.The Packers signed Perry to a five-year $60 million contract after a breakout 2016 season, but thanks to injuries and poor performance he never came close to living up to the money Green Bay gave him. After racking up 11 sacks in 14 games in 2016
Josh Jones Jersey , Perry had seven sacks in 12 games in 2017 before a miserable 1.5 sacks in nine games last season when he finished the year on injured reserve.Perry’s contract was one of the final big misfires of Ted Thompson’s tenure as Packers general manager.Perry’s cap hit was $10.75 million last season and increases this season to $14.4 million.The Packers could save $3.3 million against the cap by releasing him now or $10.7 million if they release him June 2. Regardless, Perry’s time in Green Bay comes to an end with a total of 32 sacks in 81 games played. It’s not the conclusion Perry nor the Packers envisioned when he was the team’s first round pick in 2012.Unfortunately he couldn’t stay healthy enough to consistently contribute and now he will take his talents elsewhere.
