A little disappointed about Clark. He had some intriguing tools. Seems odd to retire now unless he just did not see himself having a viable chance with the guys they just drafted. Maybe he wasn't making progress and the coaches told him so.
Hopefully the Cole Madison situation is just truly some personal matter and he'll be back. We really need some depth at OL and it seemed he had had some ability and might figure into the starting RG mix at some point, maybe next season.
As for Perry, I know he has some ability, but geez he's just a seemingly constant annoyance. Injured for about half of every season. You can't cut him this year because of the CAP hit, but next year . . . maybe. You'd still have a bunch of dead CAP but it's almost a wash. Hopefully someone emerges this year like Gilbert or Biegel, and they can address the position next year with a high draft choice and maybe a free agent signing, though that usually gets pretty pricey if there are even any guys worth signing that become available.
