Titans running back Chris Johnson returned to Nashville on Saturday, but not because his contract negotiations are heating up. The Titans still haven’t made an offer to Johnson, mainly because the two sides aren’t even in the same ballpark on the parameters of the deal, General Manager Mike Reinfeldt said. “We’ve discussed parameters. If we can’t agree on the parameters, there’s no sense making offers,’’ Reinfeldt said Saturday night before the Titans played the Rams. “If your parameters are different … and if you are talking a different language then you are wasting your time. We’ve talked to his agent and will continue to talk to his agent.’’ Johnson returned to Nashville for personal business and has no meetings planned with the Titans, according to sources familiar with the situation. Reinfeldt has said the Titans are willing to make Johnson the highest paid running back in the NFL but Johnson is seeking a contract that would rank with the game’s “elite†playmakers. So far, the two sides have been unable to get on the same page about things including signing bonus or guaranteed money. Source: The Tennessean
As great as CJ is at the end of the day he's still a running back in a passing league. Not to mention running backs are seldom known for their longevity and the Titans have probably cut his career in half by their dependency on him.
Trying to be a playmaker actually ended up hurting Chris Johnson last year. He wasn't hitting the hole like he did the year before. He seemed to want to just rip long runs instead of getting what the defense gave him.
His big season has really gotten to his head. The Titans probably aren't going anywhere this season with or without Chris Johnson, no point in caving into his demands now.
whats this guys problem? he already has all the gold bling bling in his grill... whats next? Brown paper Bags stuffed with bills at the strip club... oh wait that was another titan
Let him hold out. The Titans don't have to pay him and he get's fined. He can't be cut loose and picked up by another team. No judge will side with the whiny snitch and grant him to be a FA and the more and more he holds out the more time he loses. So I say heck em, call his bluff and let's see what else he can figure out in this world. I'm sure a handful of restaurants in the area need new hosts in their joints.
Not at the Waffle House. I've been to 3 of them in my lifetime and I don't understand ANYTHING those people say.
