However, he was let go and spent his summer of 2014 on the Denver Broncos roster. That led to a full season on the practice squad. Pericak was let go and picked up by the Seattle Seahawks to try to plug the holes in their offensive line.
He spent 2016 on the practice squad. In 2017, the Seahawks waived him injured. He wound up spending some time on the Buffalo Bills roster before signing with the Chicago Bears late into the season.
Pericak is not going to make the roster. However, what he has that the others in this tier do not is experience. He is going to show up every day and act like a professional. He did not last long in his stints because he does not have a lot of talent. However, he lasted full seasons and was signed back to practice squads because he is a professional.
He can push a player such as Jerami Hall to be better than him which puts him above him on the rankings currently.
