Apparently BJ Raji will be coming into town tomorrow to sign his contract and get to work. Good. I had written a lengthy post that I failed to publish earlier in the weak about my problem with rookie contracts. I don’t like them. They are paid more than they are worth. Soon this will change because it will have to – it just doesn’t make sense to guarantee an untested rookie $34 million for example (Aaron Curry, #4 pick for Seattle). They should get something, but not the kind of money they’re getting. I read one great interview by Donald Brown, the Colts new lightening fast RB, who pretty much said that yes, rookie drafted high especially, get way too much money. I think he’s already signed.
(Thanks The Choj, brother Steve for the tip).

Raji will have some work to do to catch up. In his favor is that Justin Harrell is out again with back spasms. Can Harrell ever stay healthy?

Jolly is down with an ankle too. We do need him to start playing ASAP. The Bears! Enough said?

Hope he’s been working out–but not with his bong.
