Sorry, I don't want to hear it. If he is healthy and on the field he needs to produce. At the beginning towards the middle of the season he did not produce even a bit. When we needed him to with Hardy being out.

He clearly wasn't healthy at the start and he had 1 sack each in weeks 4, 5, and 6 and pretty consistent thereafter, so you just harpooned your whole argument. And the guy will be 29 this season and 30 when his contract runs out... far from a dinosaur.

Peppers was 30 when we let him go, and he only had about 2 good seasons left in him.  Do you really want to keep CJ and his money hungry self after 30?  Dude will warrant a similar paycheck.  As one of my good friends said "he needs to have a big year this year before I consider bringing him back."  Like I said, 8 sacks in a season where we needed more than just average is not a good look for the money he was and still is getting paid.

There isn't a snowball's chance in hell Gentleman would pay him anywhere near this money once the current contract is up, so no need to worry about it.

And calling CJ money-hungry is ludicrous and baseless - the guy signed a lucrative contract in the prime of his career and has done his absolute best the entire time, performing very well overall. Maybe he's a little overpaid, but he didn't write the contract. If CJ is 'money-hungry' then so is Deangelo, Stew, Kalil, Beason, Jake, and every other player who got paid by Hurney.

And calling CJ money-hungry is ludicrous and baseless - the guy signed a lucrative contract in the part me of his career and has done his absolute best the entire time, performing very well overall. Maybe he's a little overpaid, but he didn't wrote the contract. If CJ is 'money-hungry' then so is Deangelo, Stew, Kalil, Beason, Jake, and every other player who got paid by Hurney.

I'll give you the 2nd paragraph.  Hurney was just a moron in hindsight.

charles johnson makes way too much but the alternative was watching him go to the falcons at a point where they essentially a good pass rusher away from a lombardi so i can live with it

 

*EDIT* for lack of reading comprehension.

 

Yes having him go to the Falcons would have been a devastating blow for our team in the short and long term especially given how the Hardy situation developed. I was ok with overpaying him as well. He was always going to be a very good player and a tone setter. Teams need guys like that. I just hope we can get his contract to be a little more cap-friendly so that we can get some more talent in the upcoming seasons.
