billsfan89 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 This is a great deal for David Johnson it pays him a notch below what the elite backs like Gurley and Bell and gives him basically two years of guaranteed money. I honestly don't like this deal for the Cards. DJ was one of the best backs in the league in 2016 but he is coming off of a serious injury and his contract value wouldn't have been that much more than it would have been if he had another elite season (The Cards could always have tagged him to prevent him from hitting the market.) If DJ put together another 2016 type season how much more would he have commanded? 15-16 million, that's only 2-3 million more than he currently has. Whereas if DJ get hurt they could be stuck with damaged goods for 2 seasons at 13 million a pop. 15 minutes ago, matter2003 said: If he says healthy it is. Any player needs to stay healthy for a deal to work for the team. I do think that this is a bad deal considering that DJ has only had 1 elite season and is coming off a big injury. I think the Cards were better off just seeing how 2018 plays out for DJ and franchising him if he has a great year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 So much for RB's being phased-out and not being paid much in the new-era of the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems multifaceted backs are worth the money to teams without a franchise quarterback eating a chunk of their salary cap. Also, the new norm may be to extend their contract to make it expire before the dreaded RB age of 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His receiving ability is what sets him apart, IMO. He's a dual threat like Thurman was and is the perfect weapon for today's NFL...

Mr. WEO Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 He should now hold out tomorrow. He's worth at least 17 million a year... ...or he should have signed with the Steelers where there is a 5 year 70 million deal still sitting on the table. The Cardinals players should fire their union reps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Johnson is a good kid. Very happy for him. Cards got a steal in the draft. This goes to show why you don’t trade or over pay for a FA running back. This is a fair deal for a duel threat that causes miss matches for defenses. Quality RB’s can be found in all rounds of the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
