Charles Johnson taking less money isn't Gettlemagic, it's JRmagic

I still say hike 'em if you got 'em.

Why are you always in a rush to show everyone you don't understand the topic.

The topic isn't all that complex to understand. Did you think you were saying something profound? Gettleman made the decisions that saved this team, Richardson's team, money that can be used to improve it. If Johnson and Richardson are such pals then Richardson should have just asked him to take less money. But of course that would be silly. Johnson may like or even love Richardson but he also likes and loves staying at home and in the end the overall value of staying at 3 million for a year outweighed playing elsewhere for what was being offered.

Whether Johnson signed elsewhere or came back at a reasonable amount he had to be cut.

The problem with the Huddle cargo shorts is you can't hike 'em. Only athletic shorts.

Did you miss the reports that NYG and TB offered him 3 mil more than we did?

Did you miss the part where I said it must nonot have perked his interest??

Completely agree. CJ would have never been cut in the first place if his relationship with the big cat was so amazing. At the end of the day, Getts made a business decision to cut CJ, and CJ came back to Carolina for less money only b/c playing for an elite defense on an established playoff team will give him much more value on the open market when he tests free agency next year. 

Of course he would have to have been cut.  There is literally no way to lower his cap hit by 7 million without citing him if you do not add years to the contract. 

 

All Igo was saying is that CJ took less money to come back here because of his relationship with the Big Cat.

And I'd agree it's perfectly reasonable to believe that's a factor.

There's a whole lot of moving parts in something like this.

Hope this can set an example for the team.

I disagree somewhat. Gentlemen has built this team into a perennial contender. Guys want to stay and play for teams that could win a title. I think that was the biggest factor in this signing. We've lost guys in the past because our team sucks and they choose to chase bigger money or a title somewhere else...Pep comes to mind. I think Kris Jenkins was probably similar... he was injured but was ultimately unhappy bc we weren't contending like we had previously. So he ended up traded instead of possibly renegotiating. JR is huge no doubt...but gettlemen and Rivera are the primary reasons we are winning.

The answer he gave to the question is probably the most reasonable answer, but it kind of backfired on him.

Not if you come from the angle that Reese just wants a good fit and a happy employee.
