After paying him 1 million for 2,000 yards. So the Titans way underpaid by performance in the past, so now they are paying for it. On top of that, I'd go out on a limb and say he'd probably get more than 4yds/game if they had an offense. And the 30 million wasn't guaranteed for performance, only injury. So they can cut him if his performance is this bad and he won't see any more of that money.
I wouldn't feel comfortable with that group tbh. I'd package him and upgrade while you still can.
So lets break it down. He signed a rookie 5 year/$12 million deal. His contract gave him a $10 million bonus and he had a $3 million base salary. So add in $8 million this year. That looks to be a career earnings of $33 million for 5,666 rushing yards and 38 TDs. By my calculations, AP went through 4 years of his rookie contract and made something between 24 and 28 million on that. Add his 12 million signing bonus and 16 million base salary over the last two years and he seems to be at 52 million career for 6,896 rush yards and 66 TDs in one more year than CJ. So CJ is a year behind and 1,200 yards behind Peterson. AP has TDs on CJ, I'll give you that but also a better team around him. Peterson has 4.8 ypc while CJ has 4.7. Certainly if the trends continue, CJ's contract won't be worth it and Ten. should cut him but to act like his contract is an albatross while players like Deangelo Williams are rarely mentioned about their contracts.
I'm not talking about this thread. In general, nobody brings up Deangelo Williams' contract. Congrats, he had a decent week against a terrible D. And I'm talking about career numbers not week by week reactionary stuff or if I'm the Lions, I'm trading Stafford for Alex Smith. It is about regression to the mean. CJ will be fine. He won't be consistent but when he puts up his numbers, they'll be pretty big. Is he worth the money, probably not in this offense but the Titans offense should get a bit better with Britt.
I'm certainly looking to trade him. Just not for nothing. I'll take the risk.
between him and Shaun Alexander basically completely bombing post big contract I would think it will make it very difficult for a RB to get paid.yet they paid Fred Jackson in the off-season which was an even stranger use of money given the fact they had CJ'mphtrilogy said:
LOL...just got an offer accepted where I was able to trade same two players (CJ and DHB) for Dez and Hillis. Can't believe it got accepted...
Awesome trade. Robbery.
Good trade, a bit risky but I like it.
Awwwwww, wtf is that? Trading a turd for a turd seems rather redundant.
Well if you have Charles, I wouldn't advise buying CJ although you'd have a great 2nd half. But schedule wise, 2 games each against Jags and Colts. They won't be blown out and Jags are worst def. against fantasy runners, Colts are 8th worst. Also game versus the Jets who are currently 10th highest scored upon defense, Miami who is 8th highest, and Bills 11th highest. And they'll be in the game against the Vikes.
For me, I'm trying to get him to try and make a small profit.If I can trade from a position of depth (TE for me) and then have CJ go off in a span of 3 out of 4 games or something, then try and sell him + WR to upgrade WR (or get a better RB) I'll do it.Trade from a position of depth, for the potential BOOM. Though the boom may never come..
see if you can get calvin for him.
yeah, and in those 9 weeks about 4 of them were good ppr starts, and they happened to be about the 4 most dismal defenses in the league.the other 5 weeks were terrible.the 2nd half isn't magic.he had 12 carries for 13 yards in week 11.
Agreed. This reminds me that last season, before the Broncos game I had a thread asking if people would panic if CJ DIDN'T have a good day against the Broncos (matchup looked inviting). People kept holding their course, saying they wouldn't worry and it never turned around for them.
That is the luckiest 2-0 I have ever seen.Im 2-0 with him so far. team listed below. not sure what the panic is about.
He's right though. People like to point to how CJ finished 9th in PPR last year despite sucking it up. They largely ignore how inconsistent he was on a week to week basis and that he did much more harm than good as owners tried to chase after the big games. Owning CJ quite simply makes it very hard to win your league.
first time CJ2K owner over here. I'm with them.
People in this thread are trying to figure out what to do at this point, or if there is any bright side to the whole thing.Listen, everyone knows he sucked last year and so far this year. We get it. Are owners supposed to just throw their hands up and give up because he sucks?
The best route is to sit him, wait for one of the big games, then trade him for whatever you can get.
well, if they had done that after last year they wouldn't be in this predicament right now.
LOL. It probably does seem that way but, honestly, for me at least (not sure about 12 punch), It just seems like a story that has been played TO DEATH, with the same "reasoning" on both sides of the argument. But all the while, its as if no one wants to check the oven and see what's been cooking and its right there for everyone to see. So, when we have to wade through the SP every year, dodging countless posts about him, its just like "why?" Why do people constantly want to ask about value for trading him away? Avoid it by letting someone else draft him and let them worry about it.
I'll ask since no one else seems to want to bite. How much did CJ have to do with the two wins? I'm guessing little to nothing.Im 2-0 with him so far. team listed below. not sure what the panic is about.
