NFL on ESPN: C.Johnson NFL most over paid player

Yes, our DE made the top of the list for over paid players. We will see what transpires down the road with his contract. They say his production does not justify his pay stub. What do you all think and what will happen after this season?

​He's making 20 mill this year.  Not a tremendous amount?  Huh?  

You can't just look at the worst cap hit on a six year deal. It's not his fault Hurney backloaded his contract. Over the course of his contract it averages 12.5 mil a year which is pretty much in line with what premier DEs make.

They didn't watch him play they only looked at his stats and pay then said this. He was hurt and had no one playing across from him last year and even the whole D slumped a bit, but by the end of the season I remember saying to myself that he is finally playing up to his pay check. If he keeps that up all season the 20 mil would be worth it.

You may have a point though I think he's played more like a 10mil per yr guy.

lol @ anyone that thinks he isn't vastly overpaid. this will be the last of the hurney blunders that we have to maneuver around.

He certainly benefitted from an artifically-inflated market when he hit FA, but I think the real crime was the awful structure moreso than the salary itself.

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
