Care to predict the years and numbers?

The Titans are discussing the possibility of a new contract for Chris Johnson, according to ESPN's Len Pasquarelli.
This would be the ultimate no-brainer extension. Johnson, arguably the best running back in the league, is set to make just $550,000 in 2010 per his rookie deal. The Titans would be well-served to lock him up to a big long-term deal now. He manages to avoid big hits and has proven to be very durable despite a 200-pound frame.

I'd like to have a site that shows a salary breakdown of all the players like there is with the NBA and MLB. Also a list of the amount of revenue each team makes offer each player. Depending on the years I can see Chris receiving around $80 million, and roughly $40 million guaranteed if it's an 8 year deal.

Chris Johnson will be the highest paid and Adrian Peterson will be once he signs an extension. Adrian also probably brings in more revenue, but Chris is quickly becoming popular.

In 2004 Washington signed Chris Portis to an eight year deal that was worth $50.5 million and included $17 million in combined signing and option bonuses.

Also in 2004 LaDainian Tomlinson signed for eight years $60 million, $21 million guaranteed.

In 2007 Adrian Peterson's rookie deal was five years, $40.5 million, and $17 million in guaranteed money.
