His season was over, but the extra time gave him a chance to evaluate where he was at this point in his career. The more he contemplated, the more he was convinced the injury wasn't simply poor luck.

He felt it had to do with attrition. His arm wasn't able to bend properly. Five NFL seasons and 85 games had left his 6-foot-2, 337-pound body "a little stiff." Raji knew he had to do something about it.
 
Reading how he will be the DT and how Guion and Daniels will be the DE in the 3-4 package. Has to be a big let down for a guy like Datone Jones who is just a sub package guy and who really needs a big year to prove himself as a 1st round pick.
 
Guion is on a one year deal, was a pleasant surprise last year but who knows what year 2 will bring. If Guion falters there will be an opportunity there for Jones.
 
Plus I wouldn't read too much into anything as far as "starters" on defense. They play "base" like what . . . 30% of the time or less. There are a LOT of sub package snaps for Jones to get in on. He'll have plenty of chances.
