    I don't understand why you guys love having these monstrous 190 page threads... It's far easier to read through shorter threads on a more precise subject than digging through a mammoth thread on everything CJ.

    The CJ thread contains information on everything from his contract to his tweets, to the Titans' FO handling of the situation, etc. This is a thread with a very precise subject that I'd rather see be a stand alone thread rather than another post.

    On topic: My guess would be 5 year 55-60 million with ~25 million guaranteed.

    Totally agree, which is why he needs to stop fixating on it. Twitter and social media has its good points, I guess, but this is an example of it being a bad thing IMO.

    After reading your post I reread his Tweet. I think that what he meant was that his "job" has a short window (5-8 years), as compared to a "regular job"....BUT, I may be giving him too much benefit of the doubt. Bottom line IMO is that he wrote this and hit send before he really thought about it, which is why we came back later with his "clarification". My guess is that, if this gets resolved, you will see him addressing this (and apologizing again) in some interview.

    Want to make millions and be famous? Part of that reality today is dealing with a lot of scrutiny. CJ shouldn't have made those comments on Twitter, that was pretty real dumb.

    He obviously has problems expressing himself, we've all seen the interviews and many of us have heard his "rap" song.

    If he signs a huge "shut up and play" type contract I'm all for it...

    Maybe after he gets his raise here he will invest in a good PR consultant...I think he needs it, especially if he wants to move on the the next phase of athletic compensation.....endorsements.

    I would offer him a 3 year/$33mil deal ($20mil guaranteed).

    Unfortunately, I am not GM and I see him getting the same contract as Asomugha got - 5 year/$60mil ($35mil guaranteed).
