BJ Raji

Panthers have "some interest" in former Packers DT BJ Raji according to ESPN

 

Would love if Gman picked him up, i know he is typically a 3-4 DT but imagine him and Short paired together! Also a good stop gap safety net if the Panthers arent able to keep both Star and Short.....

I'd be perfectly pleased with one of Love, Soilai or Raji to backup Star. Love is my preference, but either would be fine.

We need a guy that will do a dance on the D-line after a sack. I'm in.

0.5 sacks in the last 4 years combined(missed all of 2014 with injury so 3 seasons total). I wouldn't get your hopes up for much dancing.

Yeah he's more of a name than an actual physical specimen.  I imagine playing in GB and being in Rodgers' discount double-check commercials aided his popularity.  We'll see.  You can definitely tell where GMan is headed for free agency.

So you're saying he should come on the cheap?

I didn't say he would be the one doing the actual sacking...just the shaking and baking.

show me what you got Raji.....Ra Ra...Raji

[LinvilleGorge]

Not the player he was, but we wouldn't need him to be.  Should still have enough in the tank to play a rotational role.

Don't knockRaji's career.  He was one of the better DTs in the NFL for a few years.

He's mainly a nose tackle/space eater, sacks don't define his game that's why we have KK

That's not really his game. Raji, Soliai, and Love all fit the 1-tech mold in a 4-3, so they'd be expected to be the second-unit Star where they're mainly run-stuffers. He's not gonna break the bank, but I'm not sure I can see Gettleman paying him what he wants either. 

[top dawg]

Honestly, I would love either Raji or Soliai. I would hope that they are both upgrades over Dwan (I hope), plus playing amid these other guys just may give their play a little wings.

[TheSpecialJuan]

Sure, sounds good.

I'm just wondering about possible draft implications. I'm also wondering what it means in reference to Coples playing for us. Does this squash that dream, or does it mean that they are actually considering Coples at DE (and not DT, as some suspected)?
