Perryman, 28, signed a two-year contract with Carolina as a free
agent in March. He dealt with a hip flexor injury for part of
training camp and lagged behind middle linebacker Jermaine
Carter on the unofficial depth chart.
A second-round draft pick of the then-San Diego Chargers in
2015, Perryman played 69 games (51 starts) over six seasons with
the Chargers before entering free agency after the 2020 season.
He has 349 tackles, five sacks, three forced fumbles and three
interceptions in his career.
New Raiders defensive coordinator Gus Bradley worked with
Perryman as the Chargers' coordinator from 2017 to 2020.
