Titans releasing Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson is available... the 2014 version weighed down by cash, not the 2009 rookie contract version.
Quote:Chris Johnson’s six-season run with Tennessee is officially over.
The Titans announced they will release Johnson, their star tailback, on Friday.
Johnson, 28, rushed for 7,965 yards and 50 touchdowns in regular season play for Tennessee, which drafted him in Round One in 2008. He has exceeded 1,000 yards rushing in all six of his NFL seasons, and he has missed just one game in that span.
At his best, Johnson has been a clear-cut blue-chip player — one of the game’s most dynamic tailbacks. He has 68 rushes and 15 receptions of 20 yards or more in his pro career. However, he gained a career-low 3.9 yards per carry a season ago, and he was due $8 million in salary in 2014.
