Green Bay --- Green Bay didn't hesitate in giving big money to Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews. But for now, general manager Ted Thompson apparently isn't going to do the same thing with nose tackle B.J. Raji.

Good! That is exactly the way I was hoping they would handle the Raji situation. As of now, he does NOT deserve max money, not even close. Make him play and prove he is tough, not just a big ball of blubber. Some say he got worn out from not being in a rotation - and will do better this year with either he and Pickett for one spot or he, Pickett, and Boyd for two spots. I am very doubtful about that, but who knows, maybe that plus the motivation of a contract year might make him play like something other than the colossal disappointment he has always been IMO.

They should also keep him at his proper position.
