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.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

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.
