Charles Johnson agrees to terms *CONFIRMED!* OP updated

[Proudiddy]

La Canfora just reported it as well, and said Steve Wyche confirmed numbers.

~12 mill a year

[Black]

guarantee you that it is backloaded and really just a 4 or 5 year deal

The first three years of the deal are worth $46 million, the source said.

72 mil for 6 years is better than Peppers 6 years for 100mil.. just saying. I feel CJ is more consistent. Now Hurney needs to get his ass out of Miami and get on the phone with DWill.

Agree, a way better deal for a guy on the upswing of his career.

Peppers: 6 yr $91.5 mil ($42 mil garunteed)

vs

Johnson: 6 yr $72 mil ($30 mil garunteed)

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

So if we had $40 mil in cap, how much does this hit on us?

[Lout]

I am getting more and more excited about this season now. CJ was my one true worry about re-signing. I feel the rest of our top FAs want to come back, and it's just a matter of time before they are re-signed. Yes!

The Huddle went from KEEPING CJ AT ALL COSTS to OH NO'S HE COST TOO MUCH

Sad but true.

And I'm not sure if this has been posted, NFP: 32 million guaranteed keeps Johnson in Charlotte

So yeah, it's true.

Please sign DW next please

Depends on signing bonus. But I would say 10 million just went out the door.

I am glad you did the research to get the actual numbers.. saved me from doing it. Lol.

Threads like this are why I remind myself to only come here for news and not rational discussion.

Oh, ok nice. I guess we will just finish re-signing our guys and hopefully add Coefield and an average Cornerback.

If you're mad at all about paying the guy you're a pussy who doesn't know the value of a pass rusher.
