Chris Johnson's getting too big for his britches

McNair, George, Bruce Mathews, Bulluck, Wycheck and Finnegan all got paid nicely to stay after or before their rookie contracts expired. All were very good/great players for the Titans during their second contract. McNair and George were DONE when the Titans so selfishly showed them the door. Add Blaine Bishop and his negativity to the list of guys that bad mouth the organization as a guy who didn't know when he was done. That 1 season at Philly worked out nicely for him. Bulluck is probably done and Mathews and Wycheck knew when to walk away or Titans naysayers would be saying the organization ran them out at some point.

Haynesworth, Drew Bennett, McCareins, Jon Runyun, Rolle, Pacman, Lendale, KVB, Kearse, etc all have been worse or even busts after the Titans "wouldn't pay them".

The only two guys the Titans might like a redo on are DMase and A. Odom and still neither has truly matched their success as a Titan.

You'd be hard pressed to find another team that makes better decisions about letting guys walk or resigning them. Maybe CJ should say there's teams out there that will overpay for players.

As for CJ, can he and his enablers allow him to play more than 2 seasons of a 5 year contract before we assume the Titans won't "pay" a possible Hall of Fame type player? History does in fact reflect we WILL pay him to stay.

Being known for "not paying" isn't quite as lackluster when the organization was right to not pay almost every time.

 

Hhattteeerrrr!!

 

You are right Riverman, the media does say that and in a way they're right. A lot of players say that and they are right. What they don't mention is how often the Titans are right to not do it. If Runyun, Haynesworth or any other player walks when their contract is up and that player goes on to put up All Pro seasons with another team then it's impossible for me or anyone else to defend the organization?
Do you not agree?

 

I don't believe you have read post #42.
