XXVIII-III Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Chris Johnson said back in December that he would never accept a pay cut from the Tennessee Titans. But he might be willing to take a pay cut to leave the Titans.Johnson reportedly is now willing to take a pay cut to help facilitate a trade, according to Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports. Johnson is due $8 million next year, but there's no way he's getting that money. (Or close to it.)The reality of Johnson's situation probably is starting to hit the seven-year veteran. Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean writes there is "some" interest around the league, but the expectation remains that Johnson eventually will be released.Running backs are having a hard time finding money in this free-agent market. We'd expect Johnson's salary to be cut in half, at least. He's unlikely to get 300 carries again anytime soon as well.The latest "Around The League Podcast" recaps the wild start of free agency.http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000333984/article/chris-johnson-reportedly-will-take-a-pay-cut-for-trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he will still be **** effective with a decent line infront of himI'm not a Chris Johnson fan, but we could use an upgrade from Jackson. He was behind a bad o-line, but he's at that age where it's pretty much over. He didn't show much fight last year and he had a lot of key drops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFatboi Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 say no to cj.5k. I wouldn't take him if he came for free.Lol. I'd take him if he were free. He can still do some things. Especially if he has a line. But so can SJ if he has a line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4dabirds Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 CJ will get released and will not end up here. He may end up in Baltimore, given the Ray Rice situation. Maybe Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungHeezy Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 CJ 2K has a 1000 yard season streak going on just like S Jax had. Wasn't aware of that. Also wasn't aware that he has 50 career rushing TD's. That's impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzard_falcon Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'm not a Chris Johnson fan, but we could use an upgrade from Jackson. He was behind a bad o-line, but he's at that age where it's pretty much over. He didn't show much fight last year and he had a lot of key dropsI agree, but I think we'll look to find a RB we can groom in the draft... especially after Snellimg retired.Give me Sims, Seastrunk, McKinnon, Johnson, Crowell... plenty of talented backs available in the 4th round or later.No more declining vets, please!

The Post Master Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 CJ just needs a new team. In the right system he can rush for 1300-1500 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjerry Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 he rushed for over 2000 yards in a season. He already broke outand he'll never do that again. He's arguably the most overrated RB in the NFL. That contract that the Titans gave him was a joke, and they've suffered for it, ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
