Rodgers: We can't keep paying him at the level of Ryan Fitzpatrick. He'll have two years left on his deal after this year, but I wouldn't wait til there's one more to get a new deal done. Something similar to Drew Brees -- should happen this offseason.
Matthews: Second in importance only to Rodgers, must re-sign. He has one year left on his original deal coming into next year.
Jennings: Cobb's breakout year has put the writing on the wall for Jennings to be gone. I think it's possible Jennings gets a franchise tag for next year, but there will be no long-term deal. Too expensive and injury prone for what he will command on the open market.
Raji: Look, I know people love Raji, but IMO he is one of the more overrated players on the team. Takes a lot of plays off and has very poor stamina. Pro Football Focus actually had him rated dead last in 2011 of interior D-linemen against the run. I'd draft his replacement and let him play out next year. I don't think he's productive enough to warrant how expensive he will be.
Walden: Probably expendable next year with Perry's return and Moses emerging on the outside.
