Chad Johnson: Pursue or No? Part 4: Contract

PrintChad Johnson has one year left on his contract for $6 million. That would leave the Jets in an interesting dilemma. That might be too much to pay considering all of the free agents they need to take care of. A contract extension, however, could limit the cap hit by spreading things out.
How wise would it be to give a 33 year old an extension? It depends on what he is looking for. It seems reasonable to think the two sides could agree to something short term that would be worth the while of both. Mike Tannenbaum has proven to be very adaptable and creative on the job. Any potential deal to bring Johnson to New York might hinge on just that.
Given his penchant for self promotion, one can only imagine the receiver would be willing to work for the Jets. This could be his only shot at playing in the world's biggest media market for a team that draws more than its fair share of attention.

NOOOOO!!! For no other reason than he would be a detriment to Sanchez’s development. Sanchez wants to make all of his receivers happy and puts a lot of pressure on himself to do so. Mr. Johnson is not above criticizing his quarterback, and Mark would not respond well to that. I don’t knock his athletic prowness, but his personality could do way more harm than good to a young quarterback that represents the future of this team. Sorry Darrelle, but N-O!

No way......
he opens his big mouth with the Jets. That might play in Cincy but in NY with a championship caliber team, star players AND Rex?
No way, Rex would carve him up (jokingly – but with a message) from the podium the first time he even sounds like a non-team guy. Chad would would get the message and shup up fast.
Mark is no wilting violet as we saw when Joe N tried to lecture him too much in Hard Knocks – its his third year so he will not be taking crap from anyone. You can already see him not doing as many mea culpas – and lecturing (not showing up) receivers when they blow a pattern.
You underestimate the fans, Sanchez, Rex and the rest of the players’ ability to keep him in check.
