Frank Gore Agrees to a Contract Extension with the San Francisco 49ers

about $7 mil per year, CJ is more likely to get 10-11 mil.

According to Cole, Johnson wants $30 million guaranteed and $12 million per season in base salary. The Titans believe the deal should contain $20 million in guarantees and $8 million a year. Considering DeAngelo Williams got $21 million guaranteed on his five-year, $43 million deal, Johnson’s camp certainly has a point. The two sides have a lot of ground to cover if a deal is going to get done in the next week.

Lombardi characterized the Titans’ approach as “very aggressive” because they want to get a deal done this week. After finalizing Michael Vick’s contract, agent Joel Segal has his full attention on a new contract for Johnson. According to Lombardi, there hasn’t been any hostility, “they’ve opened up the bank vault,” and “it looks like they’re going to pay him.” Lombardi believes it’s “not too optimistic” to expect a new deal this weekend.

Both of these were posted today, either they made up a ton of ground today, or one of these reports is wrong. I haven’t been on all day so I don’t know which is true

so in one corner we have Gore getting a “sensible” extension vs. Williams “nonsensible” extension. DW has completed 2 full seasons in his 5 year career – one as a starter (all numbers courtesy of pro-football-reference.com).

Then we have CJ who has played in all but one game of his 3 year career.

Gore and Williams both have had injuries – Gore (at least to my knowledge) having multiple injuries.
