Good, he'll only miss one game, he'll be on the practice field Monday.

Huge. Pencil him in as the starting DE with Harrell having back problems.

Jenkins/Pickett/Raji. That front should at least stop the run very well.

Awsome, too bad he won't be out there on Saturday

Finally, though I am surprised he signed before Eugene Monroe

Awesome. Glad to have him aboard.

I approve. Glad this didn't drag out any farther.

He'll have a month to get in game shape for the regular season. I feel confident that'll be accomplished.

Thankfully we didn't let this drag out too much longer. If it dragged into next week, I would've been getting worried. At least we don't have to worry about that.

Tremendous news. I think he'll be worth the wait.

Greg_A_Bedard RT @TomSilverstein: Just got the Raji contract numbers: 5 years, $28.5 million (just under 18 million guaranteed)

Hopefully he didn't eat himself out of football shape. That said, he'll be a force this year.

Awesome news.

Great great news,now if Harrell can stay healthy and play (hopefully the back thing isn't anything serious) we should have a solid and fairly deep d-line.
For the record im not holding my breath on Harrell,obviously just trying to stay hopeful he can finally stay healthy and play.

The problem with Harrell is i think many fans didn't know or still don't know just how serious his back injury was, we are talking major back surgery for a guy that has to spend his time getting bashed into by 300 plus pound men on each play.

Raji plays 25 years, wins MVP every one of them by leading the league in sacks, tackles, INTs, punt returns for touchdowns, kick returns for touchdowns and blocked field goals.

Spectacular news!

If he's been keeping himself in shape and not munching on burgers and fries every day and sleeping in until noon, I think he's going to be okay and will be ready to ball in a month.
