[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 545589, member: 5830"] You're assuming that the Packers are doing this in order to get another multi-year deal out to Raji. That's a heck of a leap. The Packers could just be signing him to a rental agreement, hoping to get one last good season out of him before other drafted players step up. I think you're looking at one side of the coin here. On the other side of the coin, try to imagine that your Ted Thompson and that you actually recognize that you haven't been as successful on the defensive side of the draft. You've got gaps to deal at various defensive positions, and while it sounds nice to only sign guys to one-year deals not all players are willing to do that. So do you let an average player that you know go into FA and then spin the wheel on a FA (likely paying more) with a 50/50 chance of that player being better, or do you re-sign your known commodity to a contract that is as cap-friendly as you can make it until you draft or find a better player? You've taken the view that the staff is happy with status quo. I would argue that they are dealing with the reality of trying to find better players, but unwilling to take the FA gamble. We all know that TT is risk adverse, but I don't think we should confuse that with being adverse to improving the positions. [/QUOTE]
