It is shown that, for Broad Line Radio Galaxies the strength of the non-thermal beamed radiation, when present, is always smaller than the accretion flow by a factor < 0.7 in the 2-10 keV band. The result has been obtained using the procedure adopted for disentangling the Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar 3C 273 (Grandi & Palumbo 2004). Although this implies a significantly smaller non-thermal flux in Radio Galaxies when compared to Blazars, the jet component, if present, could be important at very high energies and thus easily detectable with GLAST.
