Charles Johnson Injury

CJ has been breaking down for years, sadly.  I'm not sure if it's his fault, or conditioning, or our team is just bad at conditioning (seems like that) but he's not worth 20 mill a year and I'm not sure how much his new contract would be worth.  We may get stuck overpaying.

Agreed. I made a post alluding to this on Friday. I think we just need to cut him after the year. It will save $11M in cap room and we can try and sign him back on a 2-3 year deal for $5-6M per year that has performance incentives to go much higher so if it is his conditioning then hopefully the incentives would motivate him. If he goes somewhere else then we will just have a lot more money to sign Norman and Short(Don't need to deal with Star until the following offseason as he can have the 5th year option picked up).

At this point, Norman is definitely worth the pay over CJ.   I'm hoping CJ will help out the team since he got his massive payday, but I'm not so sure big money will.   Paying Star is questionable right now because of injuries but Short has to be locked up.

I agree that we need DE, 2 of them actualy, but it is too early to call ealy a bust. It takes a few years to develop as a pass rusher in the league.

It took Hardy 3 or 4 years to become the player he was in 2013.

I just feel Like when Hardy first was drafted by the panthers He had a much higher ceiling that Kony. I know it takes a few years to develop but Im trusting what my eyes tell me and that is the fact that he is a bust, sorry.

Hardy was buried in the doghouse for years.

which reminds me.

 

 

Hardy was in the dog house then he became a great DE.

 

in 2013 Josh Norman was in the "doghouse" after the Buffalo game if my memory serves me right.

 

Ealy has made some bonehead plays that hurt our defense. Luckily they haven't cost us a game. Ealy will either learn from his mistakes and get better or he will fail and become a bust.

 

last season he didn't play well but near the end of the season he started getting sacks in consecutive games. He is still young and obviously has shown something to the coaching staff because he is starting over vets like Addison and Horton.

we are 3-0 so enjoy it while you can and just think positive.
