Only if people think Raji is the best or second best (i.e., our #1 player in key packages) should overpaying be a possibility.

Now it may be possible that TT/MM/et al consider him that way --- I would hope they don't, but it wouldn't surprise me if they do; in which case overpaying is a real possibility. See, e.g. Brad Jones. Personally, I think Raji should be behind Daniels and Jolly at this point, and arguably behind Jones on the theory that "his potential hasn't been tested yet (unlike Raji's)" theory. But that's me, and my view doesn't count.

And I have no idea what TT/MM might be thinking. Had you told me they would have considered Brad Jones essential a year ago, I would have laughed at you. And we see where that went.

The numbers that were thrown around for Raji are ridiculous if true. I haven't looked into it yet but I read somewhere that the DT is supposed to be fairly strong in FA this year so yeah if they want to re sign Raji the best idea is probably to wait and see what other teams think of him first. I personally would prefer to pay Jolly, Pickett, and/or Wilson than give Raji even a modest contract. We've already got Daniels, Jones, Worthy, Boyd under contract throw in a couple of the other 3 I mentioned and you still have a deep group.

This entire season, Raji has done absolutely nothing. One thing that was mentioned over the radio yesterday was that when players are on their contract year they typically perform at their best. I think it was just last week, Raji only had 13 tackles on the season.

As his name has been brought up more and more each week, I continued to focus on him playing and he doesn't do much of anything. Daniels, who is much smaller than Raji, gets a lot more push than he does on the offensive linemen....even during a double team. Raji doesn't even require a double team this season. He gets stood up at point of contact and just doesn't move. Its hard to watch.

The only way I can see Raji being salvaged this point as a football player would be to move him back to NT. But then again he doesn't play the run well enough.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
