Chris Johnson will undergo surgery for the first time of his career as he is set to repair a torn meniscus.

Johnson was bothered by the knee for most of the season.

Johnson is owed $8 million by the Tennessee Titans for 2014, but they are unlikely to pay that figure.

Johnson has missed just one game in six seasons, but his production has fallen off.

Ken Whisenhunt is unsure still if Jake Locker is the answer at quarterback for the Tennessee Titans.

“I haven’t studied him as much as I need to,” Whisenhunt said. “I have seen good, and I have seen bad. No question he has ability, and I have heard good things about him. The question is, can he harness the ability, and can he be consistent?” 

Locker has a 57.2 completion rate in his three NFL seasons.

Matt Leinart is skeptical of Ken Whisenhunt's chances of success with the Tennessee Titans.

Leinart believes credit for the Arizona Cardinals' success needs to be given to Kurt Warner and not Whisenhunt.

Leinart lost his job as quarterback to Derek Anderson following Warner's departure.

The Tennessee Titans have hired Ken Whisenhunt as head coach.

Whisenhunt spent the 2013 season as offensive coordinator of the San Diego Chargers.

Whisenhunt was previously head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.

The Detroit Lions also considered Whisenhunt a leading candidate.

“I have a lot of respect for Ken as a coach and as an offensive mind,” said Titans General Manager Ruston Webster. “The traits that stand out to me when identifying him as our next coach – he is intelligent, has a track record with quality offenses and head coaching success. I really enjoyed our meeting on Friday night in San Diego and we share similar philosophies about the game. Additionally, we have several mutual colleagues that have spoken highly to me about Ken both as a coach and as a person. I am excited about Ken joining us and the future of the Titans.”

Dan Quinn is likely a finalist for the Tennessee Titans' head coaching vacancy.

Quinn is currently offensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks.

Chris Johnson's future with the Tennessee Titans is unclear entering the offseason.

"I feel like if they are not going to use me the way I am supposed to be used and let me be the horse, then I would rather them let me move on. Their money would be wasted on me," Johnson told The Tennessean. "I feel like if they are not going to use me right, let somebody get me that's going to use me the right way."

Johnson rushed for 1,077 yards in 2013.

Johnson is scheduled to make $8 million in 2014.

"I want to help the team win," Johnson said. "People say, 'He is not worth the $10 million. He is not worth the $8 million.' I feel like if you give me $8 million, let me earn it. At crucial times of the game, I shouldn't be on the sideline watching."

Jay Gruden will interview with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday, followed by meetings with the Washington Redskins on Wednesday and Minnesota Vikings on Thursday.

Gruden has been offensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals since 2011, and was previously a head coach in the Arena Football League.

So long as he's in the mix to be the Titans' quarterback in 2014, Jake Locker won't have any objection to life after coach Mike Munchak being fired.

Locker was asked during a radio interview with The Wake Up Zone in Nashville how he would feel about competing for the starting quarterback job.

 "I'm OK with that," Locker said. "As long as I get the opportunity to compete for it, I'll be thankful for it."

Mike Munchak will interview with Penn State on Sunday.

Munchak turned down a large raise and extension offer from the Tennessee Titans.

The Titans fired coach Mike Munchak, the Hall of Fame offensive lineman who's been with the Oilers/Titans franchise for more than 30 years, according to an ESPN.com report on Saturday.

Munchak compiled a three-season mark of 22-26 and did not take the team to the playoffs, even after late owner Bud Adams signed off on free-agent contracts worth over $100M in the spring.
