CJ BACK! Charles Johnson Signs A Two Year Deal; $9.5 Million - Turned Down More Money Elsewhere Again

Nearly a year to the day when the defensive end signed a one-year, $3-million contract to spend his 10th season in Carolina, the two sides agreed on a two-year deal Tuesday afternoon.

We pretty much shored all our important FAs already. Love it.

Pretty nice to see CJ loving Charlotte. Good for him, as he's an important Vet for our team. Whether you like it or not, he pretty much played like a Jared Allen 2.0 on our team, with slightly better production. Although injuries obviously hampered him, he has been pretty solid last year, and would've been paid big bucks on the market.

This pretty much shores up all our offseason concerns, so we can enter free agency without worrying about filling a hole one of our guys leave.

Not really a great deal. Hope we are not just going to resign all the players from a 6-10 team and roll with it. Had money to upgrade and still do. Let the process play out.

It's only 6 hours into legal tampering period, and CJ has been one of our most productive DEs this season. I believe it's likely a cap-friendly deal.

This allows us to go into free agency aiming for the big boys. Barry Church is a likely first target.

    • He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.
    • I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod. 
    • Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
