Chris Johnson's getting too big for his britches

I was just coming here to post about this. CJ needs to quit running his mouth and just focus on playing for now. He took the reworked deal the Titans offered him so enough already. Start worrying about your "history deal" after the season. Here's the PFT article for those who haven't seen it.

I'm really starting to feel like CJ won't be a Titan for very long. It seems he's already dead set on getting the biggest contract ever for an RB/offensive player and unless he rushes for 2,000 yards again I just don't see the Titans giving it to him. And even if he does rush for 2K again I'm still not positive they would.

 

"Shut up and be happy."

CJ didn't call a press conference to make these statements. I'd assume he was asked a question and gave an answer.

We complain about guys giving the company answer all the time instead of being real, except when it's inconvenient.

 

What makes CJ any different from every other player in the league that outperforms his contract? Didn't Andre Johnson just go from a big rookie contract... to an extension 2 years ago... to ANOTHER extension for a measly 2 extra years and more guaranteed money last week?

Don't blame the players for saying "I want that, too"; blame the CBA and the owners who cry broke. It's a given CJ will not be here much longer if he continues to play well. No need for any Bud Adams apologists to defend that.

 

True. The difference here being that everyone already know how CJ feels. He's made it perfectly clear time and time again. While he may not have called a press conference to make these statements, what's so hard about saying something like "I'll worry about that next year. For now, I'm here and ready to help the team."? I can understand the guy trying to get what he can while he can. But that seems to be all he cares about. Ever since the 09 season ended he's come off as completely selfish.

Edit to add: CJ isn't putting any new information out there. He's just continually whining about how underpaid he is. It will only continue to serve as a distraction to the team. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a new contact. I'm saying he needs to get over it for the rest of this season or he should have never accepted the restructured deal.

 

Titans are pretty good at who they pick, how they sign the first contract and who they get rid of when it's time for a new contract.

We dont sign big time players demanding big money off the bat. we get low profile guys coach them up and make them really great players. by the time they are no longer able to perform at the elite level their contract is up and the players get mad cause they are older and never got the Big Money. then the whole league looks at the Titans and say they are cheap for not paying a player they made a house hold name. Titans made McNair, Made Eddie , Made Bulluck made CJ, made Haynesworth. etc.... and im sure we have young guys right now that will be made into pro bowlers that will be mad down the road when they dont get a huge contract. If Cortland gets better it wont be long til he starts up the hold out talks also.

 

Not Chris Johnson's fault that Titans have that REPUTATION (all caps for Gunny).

That's two years ago. Last year he did something only 5 other people have ever done in the game.

In two years he went from nobody to the most well respected RB in the NFL.

That's why he wants money. If you are a player you really have to fight for your money in the NFL.

 

He also just go extended 2 more years. Good move by the Texans to spend some money in this uncapped year.

Wish Titans would've shown that initiative.

 

The current CBA prevented the Titans from doing that for CJ. Where have you been?
