Jets80 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Looks like Izdik drew another line in the sand and Johnson walked. Let's hope we have a great draft. 12 picks. Not going to hit on all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newyorkgiants10 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Jets most likely will land him but i would like to see giants swoop in and sign him. Either way hes a good addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayKwaz Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 His agent wasn't in town. Even if he made it he got here late so he still has to go over the offer. Decker signed the day after he got to town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Dennis Waszak Jr.31m Questions Johnson will have to answer when considering #Jets: 1) Is he OK being a complement? 2) Does he want top-notch starter's $$? Beat Writer / Columnist Dennis Waszak Jr.33m As I said before re: Chris Johnson, I think he'd be a nice fit for #Jets as a complement _ not as a workhorse.

dundunit Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Am I missing something here? He didn't sign a contract and left the facility? Doesn't that make perfect sense, since his agent wasn't there. What did we think Chris Johnson was gonna negotiate his own contract himself? That's why you pay agents. If something doesn't happen tomorrow then we can be concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'll give it until tomorrow night, then if there is no deal it probably won't happen I was a head hunter. you don't schedule interviews without having the basic parameters of compensation already worked out. if the interview goes well, you start negotiating sure sometimes it boggs down in all kinds up surprises from the wife didn't like the schools to the candidate was just looking for an offer to shop, but if Idzik scheduled this meeting then low balls CJ even after it was "positive vibes all around" then it's a failure on his part and his reputation with agents will begin to become concrete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizard King Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 People who root for this club are something else. Prior to him visiting, all of these YouTube couch analysts were coming out of the woodwork complaining about his health, age and drop off in performance. Now, with the guy in the building, these same birds are taking cheap pot shots at the front office for not signing him fast enough. Please Idzik, please overpay everyone on the market! Serenity now!!

Stonehands Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The guy is a nice piece and if they get him to a salary that matches his value, he will be a nice addition. It is not worth breaking the bank for a guy that may get a 12-15 touches a game. Especially when you have Powell and the upcoming draft as other options.

Pac Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 yeah this time it's mildly annoying. I understand not wanting to pay DRC the stupid contract he got but what could CJ be asking for? A 2 year contract for 8-9 mil? You have to spend the money somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a 1000 yard plus a year back that's still a threat to break plays. How much is that worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehands Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 He's a 1000 yard plus a year back that's still a threat to break plays. How much is that worth? About $4 million which is less than half of what he was scheduled to make this year. That's a pretty bitter to pill to swallow for CJ. Idzik is playing this just right. If he signs elsewhere in that range and says the Jets offered $2, then we have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 What would have been the reaction if Decker signed elsewhere for $9M per with $23M guaranteed? Would we have been "smart" or "cheap" by making a top offer of $7M per with $15M guaranteed? Point is, if he doesn't ultimately sign here, all I hear are complaints rather than what these experts think CJ is worth, and at what price should the Jets walk away. This is playing out (so far) pretty similarly to Vick. Jets are going to have to wait until 31 other teams also agree not to pay him 300-400 touch, starter money. If someone gives it to him, he'll sign elsewhere. If not, we'll make a reasonable offer for the role he'll be asked to play here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAD_Brooklyn Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Idzik didn't have a problem overpaying injury prone RB Ivory and Goodson. Now when Johnson comes to the mix we're acting cheap? either that or Johnson over estimating his value. But if nothing gets done then we must move on. Got to assume he's worth more then Reggie Bush's $4 mil figure but he can't get over $5.5 as he doesn't really have that much of a demand. But hopefully they told him what he wants to know as far as role on the team, then his agent and Idzik can hammer out a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we have been "smart" or "cheap" by making a top offer of $7M per with $15M guaranteed? Tough to compare Decker and Johnson. Decker is ascending player that was an absolute need for the team. Johnson is a player that is on the decline and is likely more of a luxury for the team as we have capable running backs. I agree with you that this is playing out like Vick. Vick like Johnson is a player that is past his best years. And Vick first rejected our offer, then came crawling back. With a limited amount of teams in the market for a running back I wouldn't be surprised if he comes crawling back like Vick did in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard King Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 People here have to appreciate the fact that these single incidents need to be understood in the bigger picture, which is that if your Darelle Revis, Cromartie, Holmes, Decker or Chris Johnson, or some young tight end like Jeff Cumberland, that nobody holds this team hostage anymore and performance is rewarded.
