Charles Johnson agrees to terms *CONFIRMED!* OP updated

Except he isn't elite. He had one above average year when we were down 30-6 by the 2nd quarter most games

This post is fail on so many levels. You do realize that Johnson being able to rack up 11.5 sacks being the only pass rushing threat is pretty good in it's own right. Add to that being down "30-6 by the second quarter" as you said (you know when most teams are running the ball trying to end the game) and it makes it even more impressive....

That only shows how well he played. Do team throw when they are up 30 -6? Hell no. He go to the quarterback with limited oppurtunities because teams were always running the ball.

Well he was either going to Carolina or the Falcons. So you had to shell out a bit. Worth it if he keeps replicating last year.

Worth it not to be in an ATL uniform alone. What he does for us is our bonus.

I'm not complaining about the money spent.

BUT...

I would be one of those guys bitching.

But I still love you...

[Woodcookedbbq]

IDK that is A LOT of money for him he only had 1 great year.

But he has youth on his side, and will most likely get better. Something Peppers couldn't say.

"League source" usually means somebody's agent.

Gantt seems to attribute the story to Drew Rosenhaus (Johnson's agent) hinting that Rosenhaus is very open with PFT.

Rosenhaus and Marty Hurney have always been able to deal with each other fairly easily.

Lots of reason to buy into this.

the fact that he could get that many sacks with little interior line help in a tampa 2 defense is all you need to conclude he's worth it

and they should be talking soon about extending beason's contract...hopefully

[rayzor]

lol it's less than we would've paid peppers to show up for 3 games a season

what do you think we can sign anybody for vet min no matter how good a player they are?

exactly.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Watch this all be BS and CJ turns around and signs with the Falcons and everyone complaining a minute ago about us overpaying him instantly starts bitching about us not paying him haha.

And as the only pass-rush threat on the team, which make his numbers that much more impressive. Not saying it isn't a gamble, but at least it's a good gamble.

[bigcatdaddy]

Stop worrying guys, we had to pay him and it's not that bad.

@daringantt

Darin Gantt Without seeing contract, probably between 6-7m. RT @danielbeaton: How much will Johnson's new deal count against the cap this year?

6-7 Mil against the cap for an elite DE is peanuts honestly...I love this move, he needed to be top priority and he was. Now lets get D-Will and Anderson locked up....
