We win the SB, does C.J call it a night?

CJ's 72 million dollar contract was stunning at the time. Even CJ was seemed to be in shock that Hurney gave him that kind of money. CJ was flirting with going to the Falcons, but he couldn't resist that crazy amount of money.

If you look at CJs height and build, and just how he rushes the passer, even in his prime, you wouldn't think he could command that kind of money. I'm not sure what Hurney was thinking, but he was big on overpaying for guys we drafted. CJ was always freakishly strong in the weight room, and that power helped a lot on the field. Time is a bitch though, and now he just looks a lot weaker when he's rushing the passer. He falls down, and get's pushed out so wide that he couldn't hit the QB if he threw a rock at him. Age really hit him hard, but there was no way for Hurney to know he would fall apart. If CJ was still playing at a high level, then the contract might have been worth it. He isn't.

If he retires,  I believe he forfeits the rest of his contract.  I imagine he'll make Gettleman cut him, maybe then he retires.

Money talks, he can still get a nice three year deal from a team like Cleveland

Or go home and play for the Falcons.
