Salary Cap

chris johnson is going to be the highest paid running back regardless of when he gets the contract. we should do it this year if there is no salary cap.

 

when his contract is up, we'll be there with our almost insulting offer, while 10 other teams offer him double the money.... i say... lets get down on our knees now, show CJ that the tennessee titans are lookin out for him, let him know that we'll set him strait for life, and hopefully CJ appreciates the good relationship he has with the titans and will stay in nashville for less money

this is the only way to keep CJ passed 2012.

 

I don't know about extending CJ's deal but he definitely has earned a nice bonus. I say give him a $5 Million bonus on top of his base salary.

I can't blame him if he wants to get paid, but I just don't want this to turn into a holdout when camp comes rolling around.

 

We'll let CJ walk when he's as useless as all the others that we let go. Other than Mason...

 

The only thing that would surprise me regarding our FO, is if we signed someone in their prime, that is a playmaker. Letting people walk, roster cuts, practice squad etc..none of that surprises me anymore, it's just like "yep..thats the titans for you".

Even if we do get cj a new deal, it'd be something stupid like 2-3 years, and then we'd just have to do it all over again.

 

Which player has we let walk that has been a beast for another team? Mason and that's about it?

 

There are not many more I can think of......Odom perhaps if he can stay fit (which doesn't look likely based on his 2 seasons with the Bengals) and carry on where he left off this season. Not sure I would class him a beast though and with the money they paid him we probably did the right thing.

 

we should kindly ask Cj if he would take 5 million for a 5 year deal. 1 million per year.

he has no kids and wife, he dont need to much more $. just enough to eat on and gas money.

 

Oh I just remembered one!

Randy Starks is doing pretty good with the dolphins. And Travis Laboy had his typical good 3 games per season when he left.

No real 'greats' though outside of Mason.
