After two games, CJ168. Now after 3, he’s up to CJ240. His performance has improved 6000% over the past two weeks. Clearly, the man deserves a raise.

Look at my screen name, I created it when CJ2K was holding out before he signed his big contract and then has just seemingly stunk ever since, he is not the same player and the offensive line forgot how to run block. Serious personel changed for the Titabs after the season, draft interior run blocking offensive lineman, new runningbacks through free agency and the draft and better cornerbacks and safeties as well as big run stoppers on defense. I’m thankful the Titans won today, but come on there needs to be change in the running game and defense. Go Titans Go!

So you’re saying that a running back whose skills are completely dependent on being in the exact right system and is useless if not is worth the money CJ is making?

The moment there’s a demand for a next contract, or a player holds out, the front office will point at him.

The Titans and runningback MJ Drew could sure use one. It’s obvious teams should not only consider how good a runningback is, but also consider their character as well.
Chris Johnson should be arrested for theft, because he’s stealing the Titans’ money.

The guy rushed for 1200, 2000, and 1300 yards his first three years then the team gets a new coordinator(Chris Palmer), who’s already destroyed two number 1 QB’s (Carr and Couch), and has never had a job more than a couple years in the NFL. And suddenly it’s CJ who can’t play??? All of the offensive linemen have had continued success in this league(2 pro bowlers, one potential HOF), and suddenly it’s them who can’t play??? The evidence would suggest a new OC is in order, not new players.

They are NOT paying him 10M next year.

The notion of paying RBs that kind of money when you get similar production from much lower cost players went out the window when they gave that contract in the first place.

They aren’t going to double down on that stupidity now. He either takes a massive cut or he’s gonesville.

The question is whether CJ gets benched by midseason.

In an age where run defense is nowhere near as good as it used to be, decent young rbs are getting easier to find. the Rams & Ravens have two good rookies along with some other teams. It will be especially hard if they need money to find some better lineman. Their line was supposed to be good and has come up really short this year as well. He may be hawking his teeth if a year or two if he doesn’t start producing like now.

CJ21 holds out, gets a big contract, and then completely packs in it.

AP gets a big contract, shreds his knee, works like crazy to rehab, and is already back to the best RB in football.

I can see paying AP, R Rice, and possibly L McCoy or A Foster some money, but not this guy. Even when CJ2K was putting up monster numbers-almost none of it was between the tackles. Once he lost a step or even half step those runs he broke 3/4 years ago are now turning into losses.

He does not run for first downs. He gets the occasional long touchdown and can’t extend drives and make a big play when the team needs him. He should be replaced because he is an overrated scat back.
