He reported two weeks ago overweight and out of shape. B.J. Raji will be entering his contract year, but you sure wouldn't have known it by his conditioning. He has looked as sloppy as Pickett, and at this juncture his employment beyond this season is uncertain. The coaches have seen Johnny Jolly, too, and he's every bit as beefy as the others. For Jolly to have any chance to contribute after three silent seasons, he needed to report in tiptop shape so he could focus on football. That didn't happen, not by a long shot. Late in an uninspiring rookie season, Jerel Worthy blew out his knee, had surgery in mid-January and probably is doubtful to contribute much, if anything, in 2013. So who's left? Mike Neal, C.J. Wilson and Mike Daniels, that's who. A week ago, an executive in personnel said of the team's prospects on the defensive line: "I think they're on life support now up front." Yikes. Sad to read that about Raji. I know it's April and these guys usually are always out of shape at this point, but if Raji wants that new, big contract, he needs to become consistent and a leader.</blockquote>
