Packers impending free agent DT B.J. Raji tells Ryan Wood in a text message that his future in Green Bay is “uncertain at this point” now that they’ve re-signed DT Letroy Guion.
Raji added that he has “not yet” started negotiations with Packers, per Wood.
The Packers gave Guion a three-year, $11.25 million contract on Friday, so it seems unlikely that they would be looking to spend a similar amount on Raji.
On top of that, Raji has been forced to sign back-to-back low salary deals after he sustained an injury and was coming off of an underwhelming season a few years ago. With this in mind, Raji could be looking to secure the salary possible, considering that there may not be many more chances for him to do so.
Raji, 29, is a former first-round pick of the Packers back in 2009. He will be an unrestricted free agent for the third straight year in the next month.
In 2015, Raji appeared in 15 games for the Packers and recorded 22 tackles, a half sack and two pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 53 defensive tackle out of 70 qualifying players.
We have him featured in our Top 100 – 2016 Free Agents list.
