lol why is a contract he signed almost a year ago news right now.

his cap hit for 2012 is like $10 million. he got a gigantic signing bonus, yes. but being the most pathetic team in the league in 2010 tends to mean overpaying to keep talent.

really though hurney should have just let him sign with atlanta and spared us the embarrassment of the tone deaf national media talking about our team and espn commentator RoLlTiDeXXX69696 making fun of us am i right guys.

How can you give a guy a 72 million dollar contract and pay him 34 million the first year. Looks like they would learn something

from the Redskins and Hainsworth deal. That's paying him half the money the first year don't make sense!

Oh wwell hope JR understands I sure don't!!!!

what has charles johnson ever done to make anyone think he's anything like albert haynesworth

Apparently overpaid d lineman = Haynesworth, black athletic quarterback = Russell & USC wide receivers = Jarrett. I love the Huddle.

When you're the worst team in the league, you tend to overpay the talent you still have. CJ was willing to goto ATL but the money kept him here. He was the top FA Dlineman that year. ATL ended up with Ray "Can't rush the passer" Edwards to a similar lucrative contract with less performance.

Lol at the people crying about frontloading contracts. They think the uncapped year was 2011. Must be butthurt redskin and cowboy fans.

A little comparison:

.

The Arizona Cardinals have signed defensive end Calais Campbell to a five-year contract through 2016, the team's website reported Thursday. According to NFL Network's Jason La Canfora, Campbell will make $55 million, with $36 million due the first three years of the deal.

The 2008 second-round pick out of the University of Miami started 46 of his last 48 games and has 159 tackles, 18 passes defended and 21 sacks in his career, including eight in 2011.

CJ:

7/29/2011: Signed a six-year, $76 million contract. The deal contains $32 million guaranteed, including a $30 million signing bonus. 2012: $4.75 million, 2013: $6.75 million, 2014: $8.75 million, 2015: $9.75 million, 2016: $10.75 million, 2017: Free Agent

CJ's contract isn't frontloaded, it's actually the opposite. His cap hit gets larger and larger year after year.

Personally I'd like to see some of the Panther players making news for being the best production wise like Jared Allen or JPP rather than only making news for being the highest paid.

CJ plays the run better than JPP, and its true Allen is better but he also makes more.

jared allen's deal with minnesota was the biggest contract for a defensive player ever at the time.

i've seen some people throw his deal around as an argument against charles johnson's contract because the total value of allen's was actually a little less than johnson's. the context is pretty different for the two. allen's cap hit is also going to be over $14 million this year. while it's true that CJ's contract is backloaded i can't see him making it to the end of his current deal without a restructure.
