[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 529661, member: 7277"] Good analysis and reflects what I've been saying about Raji all along. BJ Raji, simply put, is not very good. He does not demand the double teams that are expected from him. He does not typically have a big influence in either defending the run or pass. I have tried to explain this point many times, but many of those who still have the misconception of Raji's value are simply not going to be convinced. Raji has never been a stat guy, so it's tough to explain his lack of value with stats. Watch the tape. He continues to get overrated based on a few different things: 1) His 2010 season 2) His draft position 3) Every once in awhile, he'll have a good game, like any other starting player, where he will seem to live up to his potential. If this is how Raji performs in a contract year, I hate to see how he's going to do once he gets paid. I sincerely hope we are not the ones to do so. We have real needs right now with our salary cap space. Shields is a FA, Jones is a FA, EDS is a FA, Cobb and Nelson will be FA's after next season. I will be sorely disappointed if we pay top dollar to a guy who not only has no value, but by his very presence keeps us from improving at his position since we're obligated to start him. Let him walk and happily take the mid round comp pick. Save money and hopefully add a better player. [/QUOTE]
