lol, that guy is a colossal moron. I feel bad for people who already drafted him in fantasy leagues. Dumb dumb dumb...
Goooood.

I don't understand.
Even though he'll have played four years at the end of this season, they'll treat him as if he's only played 3?
Even if he shows up & plays from day 1 of the regular season?
Why would the players agree to that?

Because holdouts are stupid and 99.9% of NFL players don't hold out. He's still on his rookie deal, he needs to play it out and then hit free agency or get an extension.

That's actually been a part of the CBA for several years now. Although, I think it was later in the previous CBA, I could be wrong about that.

Why wouldn't you pay the only player on your roster worth a damn?

How do we know they haven't offered a really good deal and he is demanding an unreasonable amount?

Got JJ?
I thought the same thing until I remembered who we were talking about. Ann Sullivan Macy (aka The Mircale Worker) has been gone for decades now.

Ah, Football!
We really don't know for sure. Only what has been presented by the media. They're saying the titans will refuse to negotiate with him until he shows up to camp.

If that is the case I think Titan brass is acting in an understandable way. IIRC he is holding out on a contract he renegotiated last year (!). I mean, enough CJ, play out the freaking thing and do what you have to do when the contract is really up.

Right now that may be their stance but I would lay money down that between his 2000 yd season and now they have had negotiations. He has been asking for a new contract.

Wont matter when he signs a huge contract that his agent is probably negotiating right now.

Chris Johnson & Tennessee Titans Agree To New Contract For 2010

A player can ask the team to pay him more money at anytime. CJ has to honor the contract as much as the teams honor the contracts. Zilch. CJ has the leverage. He IS their team. And he is young. This tactic doesnt work if you are old and a backup. If the Titans want any chance of winning games this year then they will have to sign CJ to more money.
Players have to strike while the iron is hot. They cant wait until they are playing well and their contract is up, because that rarely happens.

The Titans were about 7 million under the cap at the end of last week. They've picked up Hasselbeck for 9 million. And Johnson wants about 11 million. Bud is probably having to go through therapy figuring out how he is going to get through this with his wallet in tact.
HOU-TEX
Ah, Football!
Agreed, no doubt. I remember last season he did something similar and ended up working something out (like the fellas mentioned above).
Eh, who knows what going on with them.

Go Texans!
The Titans implode.
Let's list all the things that have gone wrong with them.
1. Vince Young drama, ending in VY getting released from the team.
2. Jeff Fisher has a squabble with Bud Adams. Fisher is gone.
3. First-year head coach.
4. Their best WR (Britt) is a monthly star on the TV show Cops.
5. Their new starting QB is a guy who couldn't hang with Seattle.
6. The leprechaun has left the building, taking his Lucky Charms with him.
7. Chris Johnson twitched his way out of camp, too.
8. Their defense is a shell of its former self.
Could end up being THE worst team in the NFL this year, especially if they do not have Finnegan and Chris Johnson. The team chemistry has to feel awkward right now.

Yep, I like their chances at getting Luck with the 1st pick in the draft next year. I think I'm the only one on this board who picked them to do so. The Titans will be 2 easy wins for the Texans this year, which is good news for us. However, if they get Luck, then we will have the next Peyton Manning in our division, which could begin the next decade of Texans suffering...

Go Texans!
By going out there and playing in the games himself?
If Cowher or some other vet HC was taking over that team, I might agree. And I will say that anything IS possible, I agree on that.
But man oh man, their backs are not against the wall. They are EMBEDDED into the wall.
I gotta' go with GP on this one. The Titans are imploding. Slug Adams is reaping what he sowed, and I hope Titans fans choke on that chicken bone of losing.
Anything is possible, but what is probable is that a first year head coach is taking over a very troubled franchise and they will continue to nosedive. Star players are unhappy, and with the way Slug operates, he's not going to get pushed around for more money. That stubborn old fool is that team's own worst enemy, and that's fine with me.
The Texans had better sweep them this year. And not just sweep, but mop them up. No way should a team under a 6th year head coach lose to a team in this state of disarray.

Of course he doesn't want to leave Tennessee, his teeth would REALLY stand out if he lived in any other state. Makes sense to stay.
And Arkansas doesn't have a pro team, so that state is out of the Chris Johnson sweepstakes.

I usually believe in a player honoring his full contract and then asking for a new one but being that most football players have short career especially short for a running back then CJ should get the most money he can while he plays. That being said, he should go to camp and discuss it like a man and maybe he has been offered a new deal but his overall ego is just getting the best of him.
Doppelganger
None
I doubt that. While he is good, backs have a short shelf life. You can find productive backs all the time. If he was a QB, then yeah, a haul for sure. But a RB? Nah. Maybe a 3rd or 4th? Not much more.
Must spread rep.
Allstar
Bona fide
He doesn't want to go anywhere. He wants to stay in Tennessee. They put a band aid over his contract last year and promised him a new deal this year. He's holding out until that happens.

Well, then he should show up to camp and talk things through.
