Titans and Johnson Agree to Terms

SUMMARY: The Titans have reached an agreement with first-round pick Chris Johnson. The deal reportedly is for five years and will be worth $12 million. He will be a part of today's practice at 3:30. Johnson should compete for playing time early this season while lining up in the backfield and in the slot position as a receiver. He’s also expected to be in the mix in the return game. As a senior at East Carolina, Johnson led the NCAA with 227.7 all-purpose yards per game (109.5 rushing, 40.6 receiving, 77.6 kickoff returns). He also recorded career highs with 1,423 rushing yards, 17 rushing touchdowns, 528 receiving yards, six touchdown receptions and 1,009 kickoff return yards last year.

haha if this dude blows up we have him locked in for 5 years for only 12 mil. awesome

 

If he blows up, he will demand to renegotiate just like every other player.

On a happier note, we all criticize MR a lot for some very questionable moves, but he deserves to be commended (at least a little bit) for getting all our picks signed to (what appear to be) good contracts and in camp (roughly) on time.

 

Well, it's usually not difficult to sign guys that arent stars in college.

 

Jersey #28... looks like my Chris Brown jersey sucks as much as ever.

 

Yes we have criticized him for some questionable moves...

Like letting Travis Henry go (Good move)
For not over paying Bennett (Good move)
For not over paying Bobby Wade (Good move)
For not drafting Dwayne Jarrett (Good move)

If Chris Johnson and Griff perform as well as I think they will I hope folks start showing MR some love finally...

 

I like MR sometimes I just don't like his draft choices. Like Chris Henry.

 

Carr wears #29 now.

 

That will be the least of our worries with that guy.
