    Packers' Raji not worried about contract

    By: PAUL IMIG ... Published: Tuesday, May 28, 2013, 3:20pm

    GREEN BAY, Wis. —

    " B.J. Raji isn't worried about his contract, at least not yet. After the Green Bay Packers handed out huge contracts this offseason to quarterback Aaron Rodgers and outside linebacker Clay Matthews, the team's 337-pound nose tackle should be next in line.

    "I'm not really going to talk contracts," Raji said Tuesday in the locker room. "Obviously the Packers are a great organization. I feel they'll do right by me."..."     Fr. LINK

    Comment woodbuck27:

    With the big signings of Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews III the Green Bay Packers still have approx. $10 million$ in CAP space remaining for the 2013 season.

        It certainly will not be with the Packers.

          He has to muster up better than we saw last season and especially at the end. He certainly needs to be rested more. That's where another 'Big Man' must step up.

          Otherwise... I'm afraid their going to be simply tossing valuable CAP money away.

          PACKERS !

            With Pickett near the end of his career who do you see as our NT if we dump Raji? A future draft pick? Jolly? Jordan Miller? Gilbert Pena? Moving a DE to nose? Unless we draft a stud DT I don't see Raji going anywhere.

              Couldn't the same questions have been raised about the center position and resigning Wells going into the 2011 season? A player isn't resigned automatically just because the roster indicates a need to keep the player.

              Sometimes the salary cap dictates letting a player leave even if the likely result is a decline in performance at his position.

                We did go out and sign Saturday to take Wells' place but that didn't work out so well. Maybe one of these kids will shine or we'll get another Pickett in the 2014 draft. Raji just might price himself off the roster like Wells did. We shall see.

                  If we just go with JH's guess which I think is a tad on the high side, that would put Raji at just over 8 per. He's already due to make 6.5 this year so with a bit of signing bonus his cap impact will remain mostly unchanged. He's unlikely to be a cap casualty IMO. Nose tackles generally keep improving well into their 2nd contract as well. Raji could be one of those guys who isn't even in his prime yet.

                    Ted doesn't normally play games but I wonder if the Packer want to see him in a contract year.
                    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                      Yup. It looks like he's 'a LOCK' to stay and clean $up$ no matter what he does/doesn't do. That 'of course' depended on a realistic timetable to make another real Super Bowl run. Do we have any chance for that in 2013... YES.

                      I believe we should make the playoff's and depended on the present then 'after regular season adversity and strength'... of our OL and DL!?? We have a more or less reasonable 'REAL' shot to go through to the Super Bowl and then win another Championship.

                      RE: B. J. Raji... I just hope that he has the pride necessary to play his tail off. He must not ever again be over used Pugger. That = burnout on BJ Raji and = stupidly on behalf of anyone responsible for such foolish and irresponsible need to do.

                      It's over the top too obvious to us that over use of Raji and Pickett cannot continue.

                      'Well Jeee ! That didn't work out as we hoped ... excuses' and overuse of these two BIG MEN. Isn't going to wash with astute Packer fans. The present plan is full of holes as it is and more so 'what if's'.

                      a) Good grief ... what pressure on the Johnny Jolly 'wish and a prayer'.

                      b) Is that Rookie prospect supposed to step right in. What's the logical guarantee there?

                      c) What is Mike Neal?

                      All we have is the same as the Packer brass and coach's....HOPE ... with a more severe limitation on any guarantee than needed be as I view/viewed it.

                      TT needed to address the DL in FA or draft a solid DT prospect in April failing the first obvious move. He was pre-occupied with other things I'm guessing. He's like most men. He can 'only' do one thing at a time.

                      GO PACK GO !

                        I am kind of on board with this, but I feel as if the team is slow-walking the Raji contract for a while. I think, in the Matthews/Rodgers era, we will let anybody else walk who can't keep their numbers at a value level. Raji's value # is way higher than another player's would be, but there is still a number. Greg Jennings couldn't get paid here at his number, and Raji might not either.

                        Let's hope Raji plays the best low-profile football in the league so we can keep his $ down to fit under the budget and keep him out of a purple jersey.

                            Try and play poker with TT.
