[dmq]

Meh, give me Jones and a much more friendly cap number. I think Felix is going to light it up this year.

[SDCowboy85]

We're a passing team and we have a great RB. Felix is more than enough for the amount we run the ball. He'll go to a team without a QB that needs to pound the rock.

This +1

[Doomsday101]

Chris Johnson is a great RB but no way would I make a trade giving up top picks to get him and then pay him the money he is looking for.

[Kangaroo]

Give me Felix the future draft picks and cap friendly deal

[tupperware]

Plus the last thing we need is another "game breaker" on offense. Our offense is more than fine (Save for maybe the OL and some WR insurance).

We need some DEFENSIVE play makers.

[Kangaroo]

Dallas has made that mistake twice now Galloway and Williams :bang2:

[CoCo]

Chris Johnson is a great RB but no way would I make a trade giving up top picks to get him and then pay him the money he is looking for.

Agree.

[Rynie]

Who is faster? CJ or FJ?

I bet it's close.

[SDCowboy85]

Chris Johnson is a great RB but no way would I make a trade giving up top picks to get him and then pay him the money he is looking for.

I don't think he's be great here. He's not a physical back. Our Oline wouldn't give him the holes he needs to blast off.

[supercowboy8]

I love Chris JOhnson, I was crazy about him in the 08 draft and made as hell when Jerry picked Felix over him(not that I didn't like Felix).

I live in Nashville and hear all this BS everyday about this guy.

I don't want him on the cowboys. I don't think he fits this team. The Titans have a great OL and Johnsons wants to be paid about the same as Romo. No way you can have two players getting paid that high.

Johnson is a great RB but he isn't great catching the ball. Felix is much better with screens and receiving. I would have drafted Johnson over Felix, and I would love to have Johnson but not by trading away players and future early picks. A RB is not worth it in todays style of football.

[Risen Star]

Who is faster? CJ or FJ?

I bet it's close.

Not even close. CJ, hands down.

[cowboyfan4life2]

Chris Johnson is a great player, but with the emphasis in todays game that is placed on the passing game, it makes little sense to to invest that much money in a back.

[supercowboy8]

Who is faster? CJ or FJ?

I bet it's close.

CJ by a mile, look at thier 40 times.
CL 4.24 40
FJ 4.47 40

[MichaelWinicki]

Boy am I glad you're not our GM.

And how.

[Doomsday]

RB is one position I would almost never trade for. There are a lot of them available year after year and their careers are not that long. Plus when they decline it is usually sudden and drastic. I also think you can have a really good running game with out having a super star RB.

[Rynie]

CJ by a mile, look at thier 40 times.
CL 4.24 40
FJ 4.47 40

Nevermind. haha.

I'll still go with Felix.

[Bowdown27]

He'll be an eagle by next week. McCoy and a first for him

[Risen Star]

I'd rarely make a big move for a RB, but a 25 year old Chris Johnson would definitely be something to consider.

He supposedly wants the moon in his new contract though. The Titans reportedly have offered to make him the highest paid back in the league and that isn't good enough.

[Mansta54]

Boy am I glad you're not our GM.


^^THIS^^

[Mansta54]

And how.

Spanky, is that you? :laugh2:

[Chocolate Lab]

:facepalm: :abuseme: :banjo:

[Zimmy Lives]

No thanks. Johnson is another example of a player focused on numbers, not championships. Anyway, how many Super Bowls has he won by himself?

[Nirvana]

I would love for the Titans to not trade him and just let him sit out the year unsigned and unpaid. These players and their contract demands while still under contract irks me. Honor your agreement.

They can have Tashard Choice from us for a 5th round draft choice and be ok. If they have their sights on a Super Bowl this year they are being foolish.

[EGG]

let's move on to how this affects ME,,,

they better get into camp because I drafted that son of a gun for my fantasy team! :mad:

[DFWJC]

Meh, give me Jones and a much more friendly cap number. I think Felix is going to light it up this year.
I'm a huge CJ fan, but the above statement makes sense to me.

It's mind-boggling to think how good Johnson would be here but we would really have to mortgage the future to get him and we already have a couple of backs here that I'm excited about. Felix could easily surpass 1500+ total yards.

[Cajuncowboy]

While CJ has had fantastic years recently, some are worried he is playing for that big payday and then he would go Haynesworth on you.

That worries me. I don't think I would give up the ranch for CJ. Plus I don't think he would make up for the loss in personnel, money and aggravation with his productivity. We can win without him.

[DallasEast]

Video games and fantasy football have helped corrupt intelligent football conversation.

Thanks... But No thanks.....

This is a trade the Redskins should make......

Ok then the team should honor it as well. Why can teams just cut you and let you go when your under contracts? It goes both ways.

[Cajuncowboy]

Well, it's not like they value draft picks so why not?

He had 1000 recieving yards one year.

[supercowboy8]

If I could trade Felix straight up for CJ then I would do but CJ would have to agree to my contract first and I'm not paying him more than I'm paying Romo, which is what he wants. He wants 13 million a year for the 1st 3 years all guarenteed. SO no way would I trade for him.

Oakland might take him though, they don't mind over paying players.

If we were really in need of a running back, I might be with you on this.

But the price is too high just to upgrade the position IMO. Not only do we give them a starting running back, but also a first-round pick, and then we have to pay Johnson the enormous salary he's demanding.

The Titans should be tickled pink if they get such an offer.

[the truth of it all]

Chris Johnson is a great RB but no way would I make a trade giving up top picks to get him and then pay him the money he is looking for.



Yeah one or the other ... I would give him a solid contract like DeAngelo Williams money.....

Felix and a future first ... He is a game changer certainly.. But none of this first second third 100mil contract felix etc.

[dcowboy4life]

Not even close. CJ, hands down.


+1. It's not close. CJ is much faster.

[DFWJC]

Who is faster? CJ or FJ?

I bet it's close.
Really?
Uh, no it's not close.
But both are fast enough.

[AMERICAS_FAN]

I love Chris JOhnson, I was crazy about him in the 08 draft and mad as hell when Jerry picked Felix over him(not that I didn't like Felix).

Hmmm...let's see...we're trying to shwcase our guy (Felix, by cutting Barber), while they're trying to trade away theits (Johnson).

So class...what have we learned about who made the right draft move?

[DFWJC]

No thanks. Johnson is another example of a player focused on numbers, not championships. Anyway, how many Super Bowls has he won by himself?
Not advocating getting CJ, but we can safely say there has NEVER been a player win a Super Bowl by himself.

[DFWJC]

Can't believe I just read that.

I'm going to come back later and hope that it was just my imagination.:D

Jerry would have paid CJ last year...and would have gotten him for much less than Tenn will now have to pay.

[VThokie7]

We're a passing team and we have a great RB. Felix is more than enough for the amount we run the ball. He'll go to a team without a QB that needs to pound the rock.

I don't there should be any consideration for CJ, but Felix is far from a great RB.

Perhaps this year he can take that leap with being the #1 guy, but as of now there is zero way you can say he is already great.

[MichaelWinicki]

Felix doesn't have to be a great back.

Great backs aren't needed to win SB's.

Just someone better than average. And Felix is better than average.

[cowboys2233]

Chris Johnson is a great RB but no way would I make a trade giving up top picks to get him and then pay him the money he is looking for.

Yeah, especially with the money Fitzgerald and that lineman just got. Way too much money for one guy, not enough left over to put a quality team around them. If they can get that much money, all the more power to them. But they aren't seeing a CHAMPIONSHIP any time soon.

And that's what we're all about. CHAMPIONSHIP!

It's funny, I bet a lot were regretting that we passed up on Chris Johnson and picked Felix. But how's that looking now, with Johnson holding the Titans hostage?

[TD-33]

...go get him jerry!

:lmao2: some of you are clueless

[TD-33]

[28 Joker]

This diva (Chris Johnson) turns 26 in September. More importantly, Johnson has carried the football 936 times (including the post season) in three seasons. The Titans have been questioned about running Johnson so much, especially at his size. I've seen Johnson take some serious hits. The guy weighs a buck 90, too.

I bet the Titans would be willing to trade Chris Johnson for Felix Jones if Johnson doesn't come off his outrageous contract demands. After all, the Titans wanted to draft Felix Jones. Also, I bet the Cowboys wouldn't trade Felix Jones for Chris Johnson and Johnson's outrageous contract demands and the high millage on Johnson's engine, among other reasons.

Jones is only 24, and he has only rushed the football 361 times (including the playoffs) during the last three years. Jones has extremely low mileage on his engine, and he is just entering the heart and soul of his prime. Jones is an explosive, dynamic running back who can do it all. Jones is a complete back. Marion Barber has been the biggest progress stopper since Craig Morton, too.

Finally, Chris Johnson is a poor pass protector, and his drops, in the passing game, rank among the most in the NFL, at the running back position.

With Felix Jones (24) and Dez Bryant (22), the Cowboys are sitting in the cat bird's seat.

26 in less than 30 days, we are talking about trading players and picks for 4 years of production

[cowboys2233]

so now he's a diva? lol 41g u are clueless


He is a diva. He wants to be paid like a "top playmaker," a.k.a. quarterback money. Sorry, but the only ones who should be paid like top quarterbacks are top quarterbacks. I can show you plenty of QBs who essentially carried their teams, but RBs? By themselves? No way.

[rickwil61]

No doubt Johnson is fast but it seems like I remember him not being difficult to arm tackle. At any rate I'd rather see the money spent beefing up the secondary.

Let's end this.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Coach Mike Munchak says the Tennessee Titans haven’t talked about trading Chris Johnson and the answer would be no if the star running back asked for such a move.

“We would figure he’s under contract for two years, he’s going to be a Titan and we would hope a longer term than that,” Munchak said Thursday. “But I don’t think that’s anything we would even give any consideration to. He’s with us one way or another, and hopefully it ends up being on the field.”

Johnson and his agent met with Tennessee general manager Mike Reinfeldt in Nashville on Wednesday and then the running back to Orlando.

The running back teased on Twitter that he would update the status of talks between his agent, Joel Segal, and the Titans after his workout. But the three-year veteran later tweeted that he had been advised not to say anything.

“I’ll give everyone update when the time is right,” Johnson tweeted.

The Titans say they want to make him the highest paid running back in NFL history. Johnson reportedly wants more than $35 million guaranteed and $13 million per year.

[cowboys2233]

Let's end this.

He's already piled up over $700,000 in fines this year and is slated to make less than $1 million. If he's not careful, he's going to be making less than a burger flipper at McDonalds. :laugh2:

Chris Johnson is going into his Age 26 Season.

Go look at RBs' stats/effectiveness after their Age 26 Season. I wouldn't trade a jockstrap for him.

[joseephuss]

This whole mess is setting up for an injury once CJ does hit the field. No OTAs, no mini-camps, no training camp and no preseason. And his team had a coaching change. I don't like that mixture. Once he comes back and I do think he will still be a Titan, it is going to be rough on his body. I hope he avoids injuries, but I think he has made himself susceptible to one. Running backs have to get hit. All football players need to get adjusted to full contact every new season and I think running backs in particular do. You can't do that in only two weeks, which is what he would get if he signed today. And it isn't as if this is going to get done soon. I'm calling pulled hammy at least and hope nothing worse.
