    You get that radio guys get their information from the same national guys as everyone else, right?

    It's not like Mike Wickett calls up Rob McGinn.

    There is no inside info here.

      Gwar. Don't want a squatty ass 6'1" fat midget at NT. I want Justin Harrell-esque 6'5" 320 or bigger. Bring on John Henderson!

      Hopefully, Datone Jones and a 6'5"+ end-to-be-named are the starters on the edges.

        Usually. Raji is a guy they have regularly on the air, so in this case that's exactly what happened. They called him.

          if its 4 million a year i agree, if its 6.5 a year, then IMO raji wins and the team loses. unless overnight he somehow becomes a totally different player compared to what he was the last 2 years

            Rapoport is smoking something. Raji hasn't played DE since 2010. Does he mean 3 tech DT?

            If BJ Raji stays with #Pack, he’d move back to nose tackle from defensive end. That’s what he’d want. If that’s the best deal, he’ll take it

            If Raji IS moving to NT full time, what does this mean for Pickett?

              Per @Haylov0204's #NFL source, Raji intends to sign #Packers' one- year, $4 million offer. Incentives could push value to $6.5 million.

                Raji and his agent have to feel mighty silly right now.

                  thats a good deal, make him earn it

                  ifhe's slug like he's been the last two years, we don't lose much

                  if he can find second gear or thrive in the NT position, then he gets a decent amount of money and a chance at hitting it big next year

                    Wonder if they talked about the tag next year? Could you even bring it up with straight face?

                      How the hell do you measure for incentives to a NT? Stats? Pro-bowl?

                          Seems like there's lots of moving parts with #Packers and Raji. As @BobMcGinn pointed out offer is on table. So far, Raji hasn't accepted.

                          Leaked by Dunn to generate interest and announce willingness to sign prove it deal? Then spurn offer to sign elsewhere?

                            Miss wide right?

                            I'm amazed at the elasticity of Packer fans. GB offered Raji eight mil a year, by most accounts, and at that time most fans would've jumped off a building to think the team was going to lose Raji.

                            Raji didn't sign - and the team pulled the offer.

                            But instead of being glad that Raji didn't take the big money offer, or being glad the Pack was smart enough to play tough and withdraw the offer (stupid contracts get signed when teams blink), we're gnashing our teeth about whether it's a 4 mill or 6.5 mill one year deal.

                            It's a one year deal at a reasonable price for a guy who is sure to be motivated and has been humbled, if not humiliated, by the market.

                            And for those of you who are going to yammer that the team should've lowballed Raji even further if he was so poorly thought of, I throw back at you (whoever you are) your own complaint that Ted alienates the locker room by throwing insulting offers at players.

                            It's a damn good move. A motivated Raji fills a need at NT. The team gets an extra year to evaluate and teach up Josh Boyd.

                              thats about the only reasonable way i can think of

                              if he plays x percentage of snaps at NT he gets this much
