    I feel bad for you guys. CJ is a great player and it sucks that he is holding out. He is one of my favorite players to watch. I hope he plays soon.

    Enough is enough. CJ has been stating for two years now he wants a lucrative long term contract. My 8 year old daughter knows he deserves to be paid MUCH better than he is. This holdout should be no surprise to anyone, especially our FO. The roster has been set. There are no more legitimate excuses not to get this done.

    This franchise has a reputation for not paying its players. The imaginary line in the sand the FO has drawn has run its course now that the deadline is past. Reinfeldt needs to get on the phone with CJ's agent and tell them both to come over to BSP and ink a deal before 5pm today.

    It's embarrassing to the franchise that it carried on this long.

    You mean like when the Bengals were offered 2 1st rounders for Chad Johnson and ended up trading him away for a 6th rounder?? RBs are found on the street nowadays. I'd be ok going into camp with Ricky Williams, Ringer and the rookie. at least we would know they could grind out the tough 4 yards.

    CJ is not going to get his payday, and he won't be performing at a superior pace in 3 years. If I did anything with CJs contract, I'd just give him a 3 year deal for 36 mil, 30 mil in upfront signing bonus. then let his annual salary be 2 mil x 3yrs. watch him blow the bonus and want another re-work in 2 years.
