AP – $40.5 million rookie deal (6 years)
CJ – $12 million rookie deal (5 years)

Anyone who says AP deserves to get paid before CJ is crazy..Both have outperformed their original deals, but AP already makes more than twice what CJ does…

Maybe his agent should have got him a better rookie contract? Maybe a better education so he could understand his first contract? AP is the first player off the board in fantacy football. Why? Because he is the best in the leauge hands down.

Vince Young is praying that CJ gets traded to Philly for three of four of the home grown players that Philly’s lame coaches couldn’t develop. He’s the only chance Vince Young has to win games there and they’re on the same wavelength.

I’m sorry sticky, but I wasn’t really going for that level. But since you’re nice enough to clear that up for me…

Whatever he gets, AP deserves more. He didn’t hold out and he plays each down as if it were his last. You have to respect the guy for that. If any RB in the league deserves a huge payday, it’s AP.

—————————–

Ever think that maybe AP isn’t holding out because he makes a little more than 500k per season while his franchise runs him into the ground? CJ has made pennies by superstar NFL player standards. He’s doing what’s right for him. Props to the kid for standing up for himself and doing what he can to get his…He’s already done enough on the field to get it done. Easy to say “honor your contract” and all that BS when you don’t have millions upon millions of future earnings at risk, and at any time the organization can decide that they no longer want to “honor the contract”…Stay strong CJ. Get what you’re worth, and let the haters hate…

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Chris Johnson holding out, even if he is still under his current contract. Anything is negotiable if you have two parties that are willing to work together. We renegotiate contracts after we signed them all of the time, ie. mortages, leases, offers of employment, etc.

They really have nobody outside of Johnson that is a playmaker. You have no choice but to pay him Tenn! Get over your ego and shell out the greenbacks.

Could you imagine Bud Adams trying to talk to this guy?

Here’s the break down. They’re 3-13 this year with or without him.

I’ve never had people persuade me to keep a player in my keeper league. Droppin this trash like hot cakes because he didn’t do that great last year besides beating the Raiders.

“I’m genuinely curious to see what people think about this: Say CJ and and management both issue statements today that the parties can’t establish mutually agreeable parameters for a new deal, and there’s no reason to continue negotiating at this point. Would the Titans ever consider trading him if they really think he’ll continue to sit out until he gets the deal he wants?

Assuming this was even a remote possibility, the Patriots have two first round picks and two second round picks in 2012, and they have a pretty deep stable of RBs to package with draft picks. How absurd would that offense be if there was actually a deal to be made?”

New England would never make this deal. WHY would they??? Their offense is awesome and they also covet draft picks.

CJ’s a rare talent with disgusting speed, but AP is by far the most complete back in the league.

Keep playing hard ball Adams…let this POS sit and fine his butt 30K a day.

Sources close to the situation claim the meeting was adjourned until Johnson can spell his own name…

This could be awhile.

I think he should be rewarded for outplaying his contract. I also think he’s being a bit too greedy!

“Hey Jenn. This is Chris. Had a meeting today…………. that ended.”

What should I do? Should I admit I made mistakes?

He’s about to find out how replaceable RBs have become. A team doesn’t need one great back. They only need two or three decent backs.
Buy him for what he’s worth, sell him for what he thinks he’s worth.

Titans MNGT: So, even though Adrian Peterson IS a better back than you…and Arian Foster did lead the league in rushing last season, how much do you feel you should make CJ?

Trade him for Gore. They will both still be pissed off crybabies on non playoff teams, but at least they’ll get a change of scenery lol

Titans should release (in detail) the offer they made & CJ’s agent should release (in detail) their counter.

This way we can all see who is being a jack-arse!

He slipped to me in my fantasy draft #5 because he may not start the season……. Hope I didn’t grab some air on this one.
