BJ Raji.......

[needanoline63]

We could really use this guy up front, I don't mind seeing RJF or Cory redding get the boot

[bestQBever]

cory redding is easily our best D lineman. I wouldn't mind if we let RJF go for Raji though.

[Nobody]

Restructure or cut RJF if Raji is a realistic option. Was he cut? I didn't know he was due to hit FA.

[Maniq]

Don't cut RJF. He's really good. Just needs to stay healthy.

[mark_dk]

Don't cut RJF. He's really good. Just needs to stay healthy.

Needs to stay healthy says alot. Alot of players are really good - if only they stayed healthy.

[Insert Colts Pun Here]

B.J Raji would be amazing! I wouldn't be eager to cut Redding for him for I might be ok cutting RJF for him. 

 

Oh man, imagine Raji, Champan and Redding up front! Monster successfully built!

[BOTT]

Raji made that one play...like 3 years ago.

[arkana04]

Raji is really overrated apart from one good season what else has he done? 

 

he's nothing special.

[Maniq]

We won't cut RJF. Enough of this.

And for what? Raji is nothing special... His value is lower than his $$ price.

[Maniq]

Needs to stay healthy says alot. Alot of players are really good - if only they stayed healthy.

But as of now, it won't have an effect. He played really solid.

Health issues will be dealt with over time. Not one season, where a player missed 6 games.

[Dustin]

Raji is terrible.

[Valpo2004]

From what I've read Raji has been coasting for a while and isn't really a top tier NT.  Maybe we can give him a short "prove it" deal, but he's not worth the big bucks. 

 

We could certainly do better then RJF though.  

[AntonMcG]

Raji is not that good.

[PrincetonTiger]

No, No, No

Redding and RJF are not the problem. Why get rid of our better DEs/ DTs for a when you can upgrade back ups?

[John Dee]

Right..  I don't think he has had a sack in a year and half...     WAY over rated.

Because so many here are infatuated with the newest, the latest...   they want new, new, new, new, new!

 

Like a kid wanting more toys under the Christmas tree...    they want new players...  more players....

[B-B]

I've read a lot of Packer fans say he isn't what he was his rookie season, I'd prefer not to sign him

[Blueblazes]

Raji is not special. In fact, in his most productive season when he was a rookie, things seemed to fall in his lap vs. his own ability to create disruptions. On the other hand, we can't keep saying our guys are good (i.e. Redding, RJF, Chapman, etc.) if in most games, the opposition averages 4.0-4.5 ypc, usually with at least one explosive run. Raji's not the answer, but it baffles me that no matter who the management is or who the coaches are, the Indy Colts can not find people or strategy to stop the run consistently. It's certainly not as important to stop the run as it was 20 years ago, but we at least need to be middle of the pack in ypc.

Yeah, I think we need someone to rotate in with Chapman at NT, but not someone who is going to want starter's money or anything like that. Raji would be a good rotational NT, but he probably won't come at the right value for us.

[coltsfanatic24]

I do think we need upgrades at DE but not Raji. Daquan Jones DE is a guy that's good vs run and pass, would really be a great fit in the defense.

God...thank you! I swear, I do not know what some of our fans are watching. Raji kind of sucks!

[rock8591]

BJ Raji has been doing nothing but giving BJs the last 3 years to opposing offenses.

Raji's best season was his 2nd season, not his rookie.

[Synthetic]

Have you seen the Packers defense since winning that Super Bowl?

 

 

Um.....yeah. Raji isn't anything special. Sure he's better than the other supreme overrated player that they gave a contract to (AJ Hawk) but this guy has done absolutely nothing since 2010. In fact none of their superstars have done anything since 2010 with the exception of Clay Matthews and Charles Woodson in the twilight of his career back in 2011.

 

 

Go watch clips of the Packers defense after they lost Matthews this year. They were god awful, they have been god awful since after winning the Super Bowl but when Matthews wasn't on the field they absolutely could not get any pressure whatsoever and QB's had all day to sit back and run a marathon of passing since GB's secondary is one of the worst in the league when it comes to blown coverage, missed tackles and extreme boneheaded moves by the CB's and Safeties.

He hasnt been as disruptive as he was in years past, Redding is one of the best if not the best D-Lineman we have. RJF im not so sold on, he's been solid i guess you can saw but not as disruptive as you would like. 

[COLTS449]

Raji has been pretty bad the last couple of years, especially against the run. He would be a terrible signing.

[Indi Warrior]

Personally, Raji just doesn't do it for me, I'd rather sign a cheaper guy, or just give Raji a smaller deal than what he hoped for if the market isn't friendly to him.
