    BREAKING: The #Titans have officially informed RB Chris Johnson he’s being released, per sources. The C.J. era is over in Tennessee.

    The #Titans save $6 million in salary cap room by releasing Johnson. He’ll count $4 million against the cap in 2014

    So someone explain to me why we did not designate him as a post June 1 cut?

    We would've saved $2mil by doing this.

    Surely there's a reason.

    Question. Why the f*ck can't the media get their sh*t right on how much money we save by releasing him? WTF? Been this way for months now. One source says the Titans will save 4 million. Another says 6 million, and then some say 8 million. What a bunch of incompetent schmucks!!

    That's essentially what I asked in my post above.

    As of right now, it appears we saved $6mil and CJ will count $4mil against the cap.

    If we had designated him as a post June 1 cut we would have saved $8mil... so I'm confused.

    Maybe they know they won't be close to the cap ceiling now, with Wimbley reduced or gone, and CJ gone. So losing 2 million this year may go a way in keeping them away from the allowable cap floor, maybe?

    I dunno.

    That's the only thing I could think of, but it still doesn't make sense in my eyes. We could've used it on a FA player or two.

    We essentially gave CJ a free $2mil. Well, we gave him a lot more free money than that based on his performance as of late, but you know what I mean.

    With the money they just saved, they could have covered Verner's salary for almost two years. Or they could have gone after someone else with it. Let that sink in for a minute.


    That's not the point. CJ should have been cut in early March, not now. At this point we should have just kept him.
