When it comes to free agent defensive ends Nick Perry is one of the most underrated rushers and needs to be pursued hard by the Atlanta Falcons.

Atlanta’s biggest issue on defense in recent years has been the pass rush. It’s so bad that even the most novice fans can give you 3-hour breakdown on how bad it is so the team must make that their No.1 priority in the offseason.

Nick Perry is a guy that won’t cost your team a ton of money and will without a doubt bring a lot more talent to the defensive end position than what the Falcons have had in the past three years.

Pulling a guy away from a beloved franchise like the Green Bay Packers is always a big challenge and with him being a Michigan native may make it virtually impossible, you have to try and try hard. This would be a fantastic signing if the Falcons can pull it off.
