Over the next month, the Packers must determine which direction to go along their defensive line.

Yeah, once they cleaned up the ILB spot

Bringing Raji back is a no brainer. He gets a prove it deal and if he shits himself in TC, we can cut him.

Datone's ready to take step up and Mike Daniels is a starter. Josh Boyd adds depth outside, Pennell at NT. He could also take a step up.

Who am I forgetting? Guion's future is up in the air.

Solidify ILB in the draft and then look for depth at TE and DL.

NOT bringing Raji back is a no brainer - even with the Guion fiasco. Any piece of crap off the street coukld do better than Raji. Pennell is an option; Finding somebody similar to Guion for a similar price maybe is an option; Just going with Daniels, Boyd, Datone Jones, and a late round pick or UDFA plus Pennell is an option. Luther Robinson didn't do half bad before getting hurt; I think we still have Khyri Thornton too, right? Or did he get cut?

A big HELL NO! to Raji at any price.

I believe Thornton is still on the team. Hopefully with a year of coaching/learning he can put it together as he has some talent and athleticism for a big man. Raji will be back regardless of what we fans want. If he plays like he did during our SB run great if not we might have enough talented youngsters to jettison him.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

On this, I am with Texas. Raji had a couple bad years then got hurt this year. Wishing for him to turn it around is silly. I don't see Ted Thompson throwing more money at him. Move on!

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Anybody that thinks Raji will have longevity in this league is a fool. Gilbert Brown was never the same player after tearing his triceps. A hell no to resigning Raji. Let's wait and see how much trouble Guion is really in.

Personally, I'd rather just go back to a 4-3 and forget the NT position altogether. Not too many guys can play that very well.

Anyway, Guion looks like he's gone for good now.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
