He has missed seven games due to injuries in the past two years while playing for the Raiders. As a result, the 30-year-old linebacker may have to settle for a one-year deal in free agency.

Over his eight-year career, Perryman has recorded 586 total tackles, six sacks, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, five interceptions and 11 passes defended across 96 games.
