That will make productivity drop. He got his pay. See it happen all the time in NFL.

But if CJ doesn’t crank it, Sunday will a long day for the Titans. Kameron Wimbley will have to get 8 sacks. Not likely.
PS – the outside linebackers for the Chargers seem hugely improved this year. Locker, keep your arms inside the vehicle and do not approach the wild animals.

Sounds like he’s allergic to responsibilty, choosing to share his poor results with his teammates. He should be sharing the humongous check that he isn’t earning.

So last week, every one of those four yards was worth $125,000 each.

Nice ROI, CJ ….. earning every nickel of that fat contract, huh?

I say play Harper or search out trades or scour the free agent/practice squads for another option enough is enough already.

Huge huge mistake by his team.

He didn’t fully absolve his OL either – and well he should not – but he didn’t throw them under the bus either.

It’s a team sport.

you ever notice that anybody who holds out doesn’t play very well the next couple of years? and the guys who get big paydays literally do nothing to earn it?

Basically, he ruined it for them all. The first time an agent for a high profile RB asks for a nice contract the rebuttal will go something like this: “uh uh, no way we’re going to end up like the Titans with Chris Johnson. Your boy is replaceable.”.

The holes he could run through were huge. AP is coming off multiple ligament tears and has further proven to be the superior back to Johnson. You are a good back, not elite CJ.

Clearly he’s overpaid

——————————————-
No Chris Johnson, you have to work like someone who’d hold out for a $59mil contract and then say it’s not about the money it’s about the principle.

Oh wait, you work exactly like that getting 4yds on 11 carries.

He is too fat and happy now. His prime motivation was taken away when the armored car full of money rolled up.
