Is there a split on Johnson's deal?

[Saint J]

Seems like a pretty big deal for a guy with one big year. I was pretty pissed after Will Smith was given a similiar contract with him being even more of a proven commodity.

It's about what I figured he'd make. No issues with it myself.

Johnson wont be told to "sweep the leg" or to. . . ."put him in a body bag. . . Johnny"

[Chaos]

We've got money to spend, no problems here. He's got the contract now he's got to go out and earn it. Like putting Drew Brees and Matt Ryan on the turf several times.

NO split... I do think there's a common ground type feeling that JR may have been able to get him with a 20 million dollar signing bonus as opposed to 30 though...

LOL, troll is obvious.

free agency is all about timing, CJ just had the right mix of things to happen, contract year, not many top level de's available,a team with plenty of cap space they have to spend & the new cap on rookies which benefit veterans.

Will Smith plays on a defense which gets lots of opportunity for sacks given teams are forced to throw to stay in the game with New Orlean's offense. Johnson got 11 sacks against teams who were running the ball after halftime to protect big leads. Johnson is much better than Smith and is being paid accordingly. Given McDermott's aggressive defense, I expect him to get 15 sacks this year.
