Raji, the team's first-round draft pick in 2008, missed all of 2014 with a torn biceps muscle. The Packers have been working on a deal with Raji, whose one-year deal for 2015 is worth roughly $3.5 million. Raji can earn up to $4 million in the deal, according to NFL.com

Should Raji and Guion both be able to play nose tackle in Green Bay's 3-4 defensive system, it would give the Packers a veteran rotation at the position. Raji intercepted a pass in the 2010 NFC championship game and returned it for what was the game-winning touchdown in Green Bay's 21-14 win over Chicago. The Packers went on to win Super Bowl XLV and Raji was a Pro Bowler the next season.
