I say let him play one more year then redo the contract. I know he was a stud last year but 1 2,000 yard season is not worth the bank. He has been paid over $5MM so far, he isn't playing for $550,000.

That's not how it works.
Signing bonuses were "cap gurus" way of getting around busting the cap with large yearly salaries.
To state that in today's NFL, Johnson is making more than $550k this upcoming season is naive.
He deserves to get paid for his 2009 performance.
