This would be a good signing by the Packers. There were reports of Raji's workouts this off-season and it sounds like the dude is putting up some crazy weight. He was shining in training camp last year before his injury so if he can put everything together, he could really help the Packers run defense.

Cannot complain about a 1 year- $2 million deal...

I think players still get their full base salary still (where normally most of the money is) but lose the per game roster bonus money. According to spotrac.com (which might update if Raji ever does official sign a new contract and lose this info) Raji's last year contract had $300,000 combined wrapped up in per game roster bonuses and since he didn't play a game he didn't get that money but might of gotten the rest of the $4 million.

There are often conditions that reduce player salaries in case of injury. No idea on Raji's.

You should be happy that if Raji resigns for $2 million per year deal that he reportedly turned down all the Packers others offers. I forget all the details but something like in early 2012, the Packers tried to get Rodgers, Matthews and Raji all to agree to multi year extensions... with Raji maybe being offered say 6 million per year or something... then last year they tried to sign him to a 2 year, 8 million deal (4 million per year) ... so 2 million would be a lot nicer than the others, that he chose not to sign.

I, of course, have been as much or more against Raji than anybody else. However, what I read about him showing some dedication to improvement in the off-season, etc., along with the fairly low dollar amount, along with the Guion question marks, all make me ........ let's just say less negative about the deal.

I hope he plays decent.

The worst thing would be if he went somewhere else and did well.

He turned it on last year in TC. Still deserves a shot to prove himself.

He has something to prove.

The jury remains out, but this is one thing ole Texas and I completely agree on: Raji has been a lazy turd and a very big disappointment.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (4h) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (4h) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (5h) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (5h) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (5h) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (5h) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (6h) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (7h) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : Was that for the team or the city?

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Agree

dfosterf (26-Apr) : Great idea imo

dfosterf (26-Apr) : 1st round to 7 minutes with one extension

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : Sorry to bitch, but the headline writers in that section absolutely mislead, or don't know how to read. It is maddening

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : No thanks. Not a dependable guy to be in the right place and run the right route. Dumb as a box of rocks.

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : Losing 2nd round pick for a one year rental, not ideal. Especially a headcase.

TheKanataThrilla (25-Apr) : Pickens for Jaire may be interesting. Definitely not sure we want Pickens long term.

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : NO NO NO NO NO NO!!1 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
