BTW, did any back ever get the kind of money that Chris Johnson did before Johnson himself got it ? I'm thinkin he blew the roof off of the "established" pay-scale for running backs ?

I'd try to re-sign Myers, but losing Breisel and Dressen is no big deal, IMO. You can add Walter and possibly others to that list. On top of that, and I think barrett mentioned it in another thread (before the Foster deal, of course), if they cut Ryans, JJ and Leinart, they might have enough for Mario and Myers. Like barrett said, I'd rather over pay MW for 1-yr. at this point than overpay Ryans/JJ/Leinart and/or others.

As for Foster and the RB payscale, I think AP got more than Johnson. Foster is a top RB and is going to get his $ from someone and I'm glad it's the Texans.
