BJ Raji wants his BEST DEAL. He believes he'll shine on a team with a scheme that is waiting for his competence / SKILLS.
It might look like he's a fool to many. He's rejected to date, a solid $8 million Per year offer. He's not happy with how he's utilized in th Packers 'D'. He likely feels like he's being wasted and to some extent to that being the TRUTH. Raji is justified in my view to feel that way.
I'll be very surprized, if Ted Thompson turns BJ Raji, all the way back before FA to the Green Bay Packers. it's clear that Raji wants to and will test the FA market. That the present situation and Dom capers and defense and Green Bay Packers doesn't fit to him. He also might have his head a wee bit to high in his clouds and more money than TT's $8 million$ offer.
Some FA experts are predicting a suppressed market in terms of Raji's position and skill set in the order of , TT's NOT ungenerous offer to Raji.
It looks to me like he's gone as it's stood (presently standing) and MM and Dom Capers and NO talk as yet and a switch to a 4-3 Base DEFENSE.
TT can turn that back to all the time spent on Raji's development and invested Draft status.
Some here have suggested that TT TAG BJ Raji. Franchise Tagging Raji sn't an option.
A move in that direction would cost the Packers CAP for 2014 > that the $8 million$ offer....rejected by BJ Ragi. TT should re-affirm an offer to Raji and see if any other team match's that. TT best chance to retain Raji is of course an enhaced offer but that would be flat out silly.
Packer nation can see Packer games. Packer nation is certainly ready to move forward without Raji. Packer nation has simply to check all that and again this:
BJ Raji has been used "out of position". Misused...in the wrong Base 'D' to match up with the present Green Bay Packer Roster.
FRANKLT...I'm very concerned as to why!? Ted Thompson has allowed MM to have his way and Dom Capers and the Dom Capers "missing badly" defense. I'm so often shaking my head over that because it's so in our Packerrat mugs.
A continuing >>>continuing >>>Ever Onward >>>SLAP in the face.
Should TT just "cold cock" let completely go of BJ Raji?
Raji has the youth going for him and the more competence / talent if moved to "Nose Tackle" He wants to be a STAR player. He wants to get SACK's and make the Weekly Highlight Reels"! He knows that he can't do that playing 3-Tech. He's a former proven force as the Packers NT.
You know that he can't cut it playing 3-Teck DE. Raji's obvious BEST position is to be moved to where Ryan Pickett was in 2013 or Nose Tackle. That makes Ryan Picket expendable except for a condition of accepting less $$money$ as his assignments will more than likely decrease in 2014. It's now come to at best a year to year contract with the Packers.
BJ Raji may be convinced to stay and promised he's going to be switched to where he's proven most effective or Nose Tackle ... in to best utilization the present Packer Roster ...a 4-3 Base Defense.
If Ted Thompson secures BJ Raji, at a base contract offer < $ 8 million$ /year CAP hit and possibly with PERFORMANCE BONUS's.
Ted Thompson simply then targets a 3-Teck for the DL in the upcoming draft.
I believe like other Packer UFA's. BJ Raji will hit the market and attempt to exploit his self perceived potential and value to another NFL organization. Again.... If TT forces the switch to a 4-3 Base 'D'; that decisive move, goes furthest to avoiding the loss of BJ Raji.
Present NT Ryan Pickett has to come back at less cost to the CAP. His age is a factor. His attitude and leadership isn't. You have to like Ryan Pickett "a Terrific FREE AGENT acquisition". A Packer now that desires to retire as a Green Bay Packer as is his stated desire in this past year in a conversation with JS Sports writer Bob McGinn.
I hope that DE Johnny Jolly gets reliably repaired. An operation is, as my understanding goes, likely the order for his day. The damage is to the c-5 vertebrae and not as severe in terms of playing football as Nick Collin's and now TE Jermichael Finley's spinal injury was or between the c-3 and c-4 vertebrae.
GO PACKERS...GO PACK GO.
