I'm beginning to become very afraid Chris Johnson will hold out (1 Viewer)

That goes under the "that aint right" category.
Just like "that aint right" that JaMarcus Russell gets $40 mill and doesn't do jack.
CJ is in a no man's land right now. He signed his contract and has to live to it. Sometimes lifes unfair.
I do think that he holds out to avoid as much of the preseason as possible, and then comes in and goes back to work with tail between legs once the season is close. Titans will want to give him the LT2 treatment anyway during preseason.
Doubt he'll squeeze the Titans more more dough. He'll still be ready for the season regardless.

big dropoff in rookie contracts after the top 10 picks. some teams (Pats, etc.) wont draft anyone in the top 22 or so....no idea where cj was drafted.OBVIOUSLY the Titans need to rip up his contract and pay the man.
He was the 24th pick in the draft and signed a market value contract. Titans will never pay him for the value he's provided in the past and they don't like paying market value on players with years to run on their contracts. He's the number 1 holdout threat.

How can a top draft pick make less than a late round one?
On July 26,2008 he signed a five-year, $12 million contract with $7 million guaranteed averaging out to $2.4 million per year.
Perhaps it was front loaded but to say he is making $550,000 is distorting facts.
Will he hold out for more? I hope so.
Our champ the last 2 years rode him to the title.

I like how the 6th post is the first that has the facts straight. Thanks cr8fHe'll hold out until it gets close to the season, then he'll get another signing bonus. Not as much as if he had held out before year 4 (2 years left in his contract), but something.

The Pats drafted Mayo at 10 two years ago and Warren at 13 (and traded up a spot to do it) earlier in the decade.
Fixed.

Obviously the new CBA needs to address the issue of how rookie salaries are too low.

honestly, I'd love to see the union clamor for incentive laden contracts. Never gonna happen, they have to take care of the underperformers too but I can dream.

Why would a hold out scare you? So long as he's keeping himself in shape, it's not like he needs to learn the offense or understand new wrinkles. And the Titans are by and large a rational organization. I would be shocked if they didn't do right by him. The problem all teams have right now is the rule in place that only allows for a 30% increase in salary, so teams are faced with having to be creative in how they make young stars right on their deals.

from rotoworld:
7/26/2008: Signed a five-year, $12 million contract. The deal contains $7 million guaranteed, including $1.125 million in first-year bonuses and a $3.86 million roster bonus in the second year. 2010: $550,000, 2011: $800,000, 2012: $2.21 million, 2013: Free Agent
So he had a bonus of a million in 2008, almost 4 million before last season, and this is the first year he doesn't have a roster bonus. In addition to making $400-500k per year! who says rookies are under-payed??
Simple solution: increase his $550,000 to $715,000 (max 30% increase) and give him an additional bonus of $2 million for rushing for 2 thousand yards.
That's still underpaying him, but at least not criminally. He claims he wants to be the HIGHEST paid offensive player in the NFL. That just isn't going to happen - he's not a QB. He could, however, be the highest paid RB in the league. But i doubt the Titans do that with so much uncertainty surrounding the CBA/holdout in 2011.

The 30% rule will prevent him from getting his pay day extension.. the Titans CAN'T give him the money this year because of league rules..
I know someone will bring up PWillis's extension that he got this off-season, but for those that read into that, will realize Willis was drafted 11th overall and his contract had enough of a base salary that the niners could give him an extension, and were able to figure out a way to inflate his contract without breaking the 30% rule..
As has been reported, CJ24's contract doesn't have enough base value, to be able to get around the 30% rule..
He will HAVE to play out his contract and then look for a new contract next year.

so if his contract was a 5 year deal for $12 million, then you're saying the max they can increase his contract is $12 million x 30% = $15.6 million? and then distribute that 3.6 million over the remaining years in his contract? or just give it to him as a lump sum bonus.seems pretty reasonable to me and still extremely cost effective for the Titans. if they are so reasonable, why isn't it already done....
Chris Johnson is going to want to be paid like the top RB in the NFL.. I think Steven Jackson currently is the highest paid RB after he signed a six-year, $48.5 million deal, two years ago.So CJ24 probably wants a six-year, $50 million deal.15.6 million or 50 millionThe titans would love to lock him up for 5 years at 15.6 mill.. but he doesn't want that and no one can blame him. So they've reached a stale mate, where even if he holds out he won't get what he wants.The 30% rule would not allow him to be signed, for a salary amount greater than 30% of what he made in 2009, for each year beyond it.So he'd make, 550,000 this year, 715000, next year, 929,500 in two years..Not the money he's looking for.

If I understand it correctly, the 30% rule is based on base salary, so since almost all of that $12 million was a signing bonus or money already paid out, all they can do is 30% of $550,000.While it's true that CJ is being criminally underpaid, the Alvin Pearman comparison is just stupid, since CJ made more money the first day he walked into camp than Pearman will over the entire life of his.
Btw, isn't it funny that we're all finding it criminally insane that a guy is only making $550k? I'm not complaining about it or anything, don't get me wrong, but it's just funny to step back for a minute and think of how much money that is.

Because of the 30% rule, I don't think you'll see too many holdouts this year. It's not that teams CAN'T sign guys to big deals, it's that they WON'T, because most of the money would end up as guaranteed bonuses (the rule applies to base money) and teams won't want to lock themselves in like that. A big bonus is bad enough, but to have nearly all of the money guaranteed will drive negotiations to a screeching halt. I think players and agents know this as well as the owners do. Just doesn't make sense to hold out knowing you probably won't get what you want (unless you just want out of training camp of course).
yeah $550k/year would make me crap myself, if I had that kinda money. But, you gotta figure after manager, agent, uncle sam he's probably bringing home more like $250K/year. Which is still a pile of money, but when you consider his career will be 8-10 years tops, he really does need that big payday if he wants to retire with enough to be wealthy the rest of his life....and by wealthy I mean have enough $$$$ to put 30 inch rims on EVERYTHING

His career could be over the first snap of training camp. .He will never have more leverage than he does right now. And Im sure his agent is in his ear. Hold out is coming

Hold out for what? They can't really pay him. Not sure what he'd be holding out for except for just the sake of holding out.
Holy Schneikes
Footballguy
Again guys, what is a hold-out going to get him? A new deal? What kind of new deal? Not the one he wants, that's for sure. He will get a lot more money if he reworks his contract AFTER the 30% rule goes by the wayside.
No team is going to make a guy the highest paid guy at his position in history after one year of fantastic production (which is probably what he is angling for) WHILE AT THE SAME TIME being forced into a situation where nearly all of that money will be guaranteed. Just isn't going to happen, for precisely the reasons everybody is saying he should hold out - if he gets injured, or turns out to be a little less than he appears to be, the team will be sunk.
An on top of that, he is just entering the third year of a five year deal. It's not even like he's just a year away.
Is he underpaid? Sure, and the team might throw him a bone. But I just don't see a hold-out working.

They can pay him, but only short term and mostly bonus. CJ and his agent know this, and will work towards what they can achieve. I also expect a short holdout, but don't think it will carry into the regular season, or if it does, not too far.
Think of a 2 year contract, with 30% bumps in base salary ($715K and $1.04M), with a $15M bonus would put him $8M+ per year, eclipsing Jacksons per year deal. Could even split that bonus over the 2 years.
Basically this is a temp deal until new CBA is in place, then renegotiate again once the parameters are set for long term deal. If I'm CJ, I hold out for all (or most) that bonus this year, in case of lockout next year.

He could hold out for the first 10 games of the season and save his body a significant amount of wear and tear. Or he could hold out hoping for a trade. Or both.

Would that meet his demands? Last I knew and can guess, it's not the team he's unhappy with. Can a new team tear up his contract and pay him like he wants?
Neil Beaufort Zod

I've heard absolutely nothing to indicate he wants a trade. I'd be shocked if there was even a hint of that happening. The Titans couldn't be compensated enough for it.
Chase Stuart
Footballguy
I doubt it would meet his demands, but it might be better than the alternative. A 350 carry season and/or a bad injury is likely worse for his future value than a six-game season. Does the 30% rule still apply if the player is traded?

Nothing like facts to break up good schtick
Jeff Pasquino

Several young players have signed extensions that worked around the 30% limitation. Kevin Kolb signed a big bonus, but Patrick Willis just really laid the groundwork on how to get an extension done this year.
A detailed explanation is here, but suffice it to say that >1 bonus can be used to get around this limit. It is up to the teams to decide if the player is worth that or not.
DeSean Jackson is one player whose agent is studying the Willis deal.

I think people are failing to see thee difference between an extension and a new deal, CJ wants a new deal not an extension. Everyone is looking at his base salary for this year and not looking at the fact he made over 4mil last year. He is 2 years into a 5 year deal, be professional, get into OTAs and you time will come. (See Anquan Boldin)

I think its safe to assume the 30% rule would apply if traded. It applies to the contract which is assumed if a player is traded.

The last 3 years of his salary adds up to $3.65 million.
So the Titans have paid C Johnson $8.35 million dollars
in the first 2 years -salary, signing, and roster bonuses.
It's not the Titans fault he doesn't have incentive clauses
in his contract. Seems the agent is the problem.

Boldin was 2 years into a 4 year rookie deal, but I agree with your premise. If he produces at a high level this year then the Titans would undoubtedly give him a new deal next year. What teams don't want to do is start renegotiating deals with 3 years left on them, unless it somehow benefits the team financially.Yellow Line is Unoffcial said:

they might get Haynesworth back and Vince has been known to sulk when things aren't going his way. I really do think CJ is there week 1 but if not I'm worried about the effect his absence will have not only on the offense on the field but also to VY's psyche and the team chemistry. This team was rolling pretty good in the second half, please don't mess with that.crabtree held out last year and he hadn't even done anything yet (in the NFL)...when was the last time a frontline RB (or WR or QB) held out for a few games or more... what are some of the more prominet holdouts at any position in past few decades... rams pro bowl DT sean gilbert held out a season i think, and eventually commanded TWO first rounders from seifert in CAR... my recollection is injuries derailed the subsequent unfolding of his career (probably sitting a year didn't help), and he never lived up to his initial promise with the rams... didn't galloway hold out in SEA, leading to another ill-conceived/fated TWO first round pick for a player swap?Chase Stuart said:

Two instances in a decade. Well argued.
I'm on the other side of the fence. I'm not afraid he will hold out at all because I think the Titans do the right thing and give him the only thing they can, which is a 30% raise for the coming year.....and they'll get it done before TC. They will then re-address his contract status when the new CBA goes into effect at a later date. Basically, the Titans hands are tied right now to the rules governing the CBA in an uncapped year, so Johnson's leverage is practically nothing. He either accepts the 30% raise, if/when the Titans offer it, or he doesn't. Anything extra is better than current, so I think he accepts the Titans offer and he is in camp on time.Myrzrback77 said:

He has to hold out. If he doesn't he and his agent are morons. And he doesn't "have" to live with it, he has to "live with" the fines and penalties associated with any hold out offset by the contractual gains achieved by such.IS that team.

You mean back loaded. The unpaid years don't count until june 1 of that fiscal year (usually).How can a top draft pick make less than a late round one?
On July 26,2008 he signed a five-year, $12 million contract with $7 million guaranteed averaging out to $2.4 million per year.
Perhaps it was front loaded but to say he is making $550,000 is distorting facts.
Will he hold out for more? I hope so.

I was in the football business for years and have connections with several franchises, especially the Titans. Knowing how Bud Adams guards his wallet, this Chris Johnson thing could get a little scary.
I can't speak intelligently about the Titans' plans for CJ's contract, or what the preliminary offer may be. They might say "Shut up and play, we'll sit at the table in 2011.." Then it's on. Holdout. Game of chicken.
I believe they are obligated to tear up his rookie deal and write a new one. The problem is, they could lowball CJ just like they did to Haynesworth and so many others. Then it's still a holdout. It's ultimately Bud's call. He listens to Fisher and management, but only so much (Vince is an example of Bud *not* listening). The old man is increasingly out of touch with every year and bottle of gin.
A decade ago Bud got the free-agent/big contract fever like so many other owners did. He got burned. Yancey Thigpen and Carl Pickens signed big deals with front-loaded money (bet you forgot they were Titans) and ended up basically stealing from the company. Both faked injuries, lolly-gagged around.. and Bud never forgot. Since then he's been hesitant to cough it up. Sure, Steve McNair and Brad Hopkins got *huge* deals, but they were proven stars of the decade. Unparalleled employees and dedicated to their craft.
And even then both got screwed at the end... Their contracts were set up with giant balloon payments on the back end, money Bud never intended to pay. Travis Henry's deal was screwy too. Restructuring was mishandled and the Titans were in cap jail. They had the least cap room in the NFL for 3 years straight, from like 2004 to 2007 -- and it ended up costing GM Floyd Reese his job (Pacman didn't help either). They even (gulp) locked McNair out of the facility. That's a whole 'nother story. But it was about money.
Back to Chris Johnson. The Bud factor is working against him, as is the 30% limitation rule. Not to mention his contract is *not* in its last year. CJ is gambling here. But can you blame him? He just had what many believe is the best season ever for a running back. CJ gained more yards from scrimmage than anyone -- ever. More than Emmitt, Payton, Jim Brown, Faulk, anyone. Of course he joined the 2000 rushing club. He has over 3200 yards rushing in his first 2 years. This young man is a once-in-a-decade player. Everyone on the inside knows it, all around the league. Colin Cowherd nailed it when he said "Chris Johnson must hold out. Period."
The Titans have historically bailed, balked, or lagged when it's re-up time. Derrick Mason became a star. Bye Derrick. *Bad call*. Drew Bennett blew up and wanted big money. Bye Drew. *Good call*. Haynesworth... *Good call*.
But CJ is different. It's not a free agent thing. It's not a re-up thing. It's a cheap rookie contract that has been so completely outplayed beyond comprehension. It's your best player who just etched his name all over the record books. Hell, his cleats from the Week 2 explosion vs Houston were already shipped to Canton (one 90+ yd TD run, one 50+ yd TD run, one 60+ yd TD rec -- first ever). CJ's bronze bust might join those shoes one day. Once in a decade.
Throw in the fact that the kid outworks everybody on the roster, keeps his nose clean, and has never missed a game... In fact he's never even been listed so much as questionable on a regular season injury report (forget the playoff ankle injury vs Baltimore two years ago, that was a "hit" under the pile ordered by a desperate, dirty Rex Ryan). Your best player... Your franchise.
Does Chris want LT/Portis/S-Jax money? That's the question. Does he want a 6-year $55 million deal with $25m guaranteed? He probably does. I can't say I blame him. But that kind of demand will make this sticky and... Bud won't do it. CJ's only been in the league 2 years. That's working against him. If CJ will "settle" for a 5-year deal for say, $36-40 million, with $16-18m guaranteed... then this could get done soon.
If I could speak to Bud Adams I'd say this: "Franchises can go 25 years without nailing a lottery pick in the late 1st round. Your coach landed you a golden ticket in 2008. You have an All-World halfback. Your first two games this season are at home vs Oakland and Ben-less Pittsburgh. Why risk that 2-0 start? Why else are you in the business if you won't pay Chris Johnson after what he's done, and will do?"
Hopefully for Tennessee, the NFL, and millions of fantasy owners...this won't fester. I won't be surprised if it does, sadly.
