Titans talking about extending CJ.

[NYTitan21]

The Titans are discussing the possibility of a new contract for Chris Johnson, according to ESPN's Len Pasquarelli.

This would be the ultimate no-brainer extension. Johnson, arguably the best running back in the league, is set to make just $550,000 in 2010 per his rookie deal. The Titans would be well-served to lock him up to a big long-term deal now. He manages to avoid big hits and has proven to be very durable despite a 200-pound frame

This would be the intelligent thing to do, Lock him up now so he doesn't become another one that got away. :thumbsup

Are lifetime contracts allowed under the CBA?

[TitansJonne]

I said we should have extended him last season before he has a huge year then we have to pay more. Dammit why am i not the GM?:doh

[gnarl]

because u have to wait atleast till year 3 of the rookie contract to extend it

[Jimmyd24]

because u have to wait atleast till year 3 of the rookie contract to extend it

[TitansJonne]

because u have to wait atleast till year 3 of the rookie contract to extend it

And that is why im not the GM!!:slap

[PBV]

Hell yes, please get this done Reinfeldt.

[SouthSide Titan]

Pay him whatever he wants. We will not have another runningback like this fall in our lap nor will we see a RB like him in this league
for a LoooooonG time.

[RohitTheNair]

If he finishes this off it would be the greatest feet ever acheived by a Titan.....Play on words completely intended..

[Jessestylex]

i hope he last longer than Eddie George.

[SouthSide Titan]

He will...

Because we would be broke? :lolhit After this year, it's probably smart, but huge contracts after a rookie season would be a recipe for financial ruin. Of course, if I knew anything about finance, I wouldn't be poor.:D

Concerning renegotiating CJ's contract:


General manager Mike Reinfeldt said the Titans haven’t even begun to ponder such things.

“He’s had a very special year,” Reinfeldt said. “But it’s also very rare that going into the third year people redo a deal.”

I don't care if it's rare for it to happen.... Lock up CJ now rather than later and trust me... you will save in the long run!
