Raji back for 1-year deal

[mission]

Little less than 2m according to Ian Rapoport

#Packers are expected to bring back free agent DT BJ Raji on a one-year deal, source said. He missed last year after surgery on his bicep

Now if he can just give them some snaps at CB.

That season was so much fun from November on. Just a dream come true almost every game.

[pbmax]

Yeah, I am double posting.

One source said he expected both Raji and Guion's deals to come in around $3 million, but that incentives would be about a $1 million of both.

I had forgotten how open Hester was on that crossing route.

I for one am glad that Raji is back. I think he'll be healthy and have a really good year. The dude is motivated.

+1. He was flashing in TC last year. A Raji/Guion rotation sounds good to me. It would be a nice surprise if either Boyd or Jones made a big jump

If they do, we can then trade Raji and a 4th for Joe Thomas.

According to @RapSheet, B.J. Raji's one-year deal worth $3.5 million. Can earn up to $4 million, likely to be earned value of last yr's deal

Start your own rumor!

Start your own rumor!

Working assumption, like ESPN, is that once its reported elsewhere, its fair claim to appropriate it.

That's all you got? :huh:

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/296020101.html This is encouraging news. His trainer said in the article he back squatted 1,100 lbs. for three sets. That's pretty good, right? :-) Bench pressing 450, shoulder pressing 335.

I just started lifting again. It's been a long while and I'm squatting 135 and benching 165. Embarrassing.

We think of you more as a point guard or softball rover than NT.

I am not Charles Atlas or Mark McGwire, but shouldn't you avoid going WAY past parallel on a squat?


“It’s so phenomenal," Carini said. "His hip strength — the size of his thighs — he’s taking these weights but he’s going way, way past parallel which means his hips are going way below his kneecap. And he’s just powering straight up. No hesitation. It’s just phenomenal.”

Only if you wish to avoid a complete colon blowout.

[wist43]

I'm glad he's back... think with the new look he could be very effective. He has a lot to prove now though.

Has dunderdummy been fired yet??

This one doesn't make much sense:

Wes Hodkiewicz ‏@WesHod 27m27 minutes ago Suamico, WI
BJ Raji received a $1.15 million base, 500k signing bonus, $100k workout bonus on one year deal he signed with #Packers

But the devil in the details is probably his game day roster bonus, which WesHod says qualified as a NOT Likely to Be Earned incentive (because of his injury and season on IR last year) but could definitely come into play.

Haven't see dollar figures on that.

B.J. Raji received $1 million roster bonus ($62,500 per game), bringing cap number to $2.75 million. Additional $1.25 million NLTBE bonuses
