Profootballtalk.com reports that the Titans have worked out a "short-term" fix with regard to Chris Johnson's contract.

Titans are moving up a portion of RB Chris Johnson's $2.5 million escalator -- and problem averted. He'll be in camp in time.

This was a BRILLIANT move by the Titans.

It keeps their number one player happy, doesn't hurt them very much financially, but most importantly-when Johnson starts slowing down here within the next couple of seasons-as all players of his play-style are bound to do-the Titan's aren't obligated to hold onto him any longer than they have to.

Because, face it, Johnson without his speed-is a nobody.

It was a great move the Titans especially if Johnson's production falls off like most backs used as much as he was last year. They get him for cheap this year and if he struggles to do what he did last year, then will be able to use that as a negotiating sledge hammer and pay hom much less than if they had extended him now.

It's good that it worked out for both sides, but please stop with the "He deserved a pay raise" stuff. When you are scheduled to make half a million dollars, then you can't complain about being "underpaid", especially when you are the one that agreed to the contract.

If he would speak legibly he would have so many endorsement deals he wouldn't give a poo about 2.5 mil. I love the guy and I hope he figures this out in time to cash in like AP. Its like an epesode of "When keepin it real goes wrong"

Any chance that Chris Johnson will hold out of Tennessee Titans training camp likely ended Monday, when the sides struck a deal that would pay the All-Pro running back a little over $2 million this coming season, a league source told NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi.

However, Johnson didn't sound so certain in a text message to the NFL Network news desk.

"I haven't agreed to ne thing yet," he said.

I love CJ and all (watched a lot of ECU games in person I knew he was special) but I will go on record as saying if the Titans don't ease off of him they will run him into the ground. He is not built to take (no RB is really) the touches they are giving him.

But they did manage to pick up Lagerette Blout who is a perfect compliment. I also like Stafon Johnson outta USC that they got but other then that I see no real #2 threat and they are both unknown commodities. Risky business when your talking about there only real offensive weapon.

A half a million dollars is a joke in the NFL. Just because you or I don't make that much money doesn't mean that NFL players that play a very high level shouldn't be making millions and millions. Just how the world works.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
