What an absolutely absurd statement. (And obviously the Packers did not agree). I just do not understand couch potatoes who sit around somehow feeling qualified to judge the effort of athletes who have reached the very pinnacle of their sport .... Wierd
Every front office says the same thing...athletic big men are hard to find.
Raji is an athletic big man. He was 27 years old in the 2014 off season. He was durable and healthy. He should have been in prime position for a big second contract.
The Packers reportedly offered Raji an $8 mil per year contract prior to 2013, which he turned down. He ended up with a a 1 year, $4 million deal after he tested the market.
So if you don't like my opinion about Raji's 2014 season, perhaps you'd trust the opinion of 32 NFL front offices. He was simply motorless in 2013. No matter where you go or what you do, lack of effort over an entire year gets you a ********* mark.
What Raji got from the Packers was a shot-at-redemption contract, not a recognition of "pinnacle" performance as you put it. You should ask yourself, "redemption from what?" If you don't like my answer, come up with your own. And if you don't want to read the opinions of "couch potatoes" you've come to the wrong the place.
