Johnson Has Money On Mind, Prepared For Holdout

Aug 3, 2014 5:58 PM

The contract of Titans running back Chris Johnson is expected to be an issue once the NFL league year resumes. The team was able to satisfy him by adding $1.5 million to his $500,000 base salary prior to the 2010 season, but he'll likely demand more this time around. Johnson, set to receive just $800,000 in 2011, is preparing for a much more prolonged holdout if need be and remains committed to joining the game's highest-paid running backs, according to sources.

Britt Explains Facebook Fiasco

Jul 10, 2014 2:38 AM

Titans receiver Kenny Britt created quite a stir on Monday with his Facebook fiasco. On Tuesday, he offered an explanation in an attempt to clear some things up via a statement issued to The Tennessean. "I have the utmost respect for Commissioner Goodell, the NFL and the TN Titans," Britt said. "The Facebook posting as reported was not made by myself nor have I given any statements to anyone regarding this matter. It is not a defense but a fact that this Facebook page and associated email account were hacked and reported more than 120 days ago." Britt allegedly posted on his Facebook account Monday that he was retiring from the NFL, and used an expletive toward commissioner Roger Goodell for good measure. A string of apologetic messages followed, when he said he's ready to play this fall.

Mason: Players Love Jeff Fisher

Sep 21, 2014 2:56 AM

Derrick Mason, a longtime player under Jeff Fisher, explained recently why the former Tennessee coach has enjoyed so much NFL success. "He's been a fixture in my life the last 15 years," said Mason, who played six seasons under Fisher before joining the Ravens as a free agent in 2005. He was one of many former players scheduled to take part in Fisher's annual charity softball game. "Guys came back for this because they love him. I don't think too many coaches, once they leave, have guys come back and show how much they appreciate him. I know I wasn't going to miss this."

Johnson's Goal: 'Get To The Super Bowl'

Apr 19, 2014 1:05 PM

Chris Johnson says his focus when football returns will be on helping the Titans get back to the postseason. "My goal is to make it to the playoffs," Johnson said. "We haven't been to the playoffs in two years, so my goal is to get to the Super Bowl." Johnson, who received about $2.1 million in a renegotiated deal last year, hasn't been to the playoffs since the 2008 season, and has that atop his list of goals for 2011. While his current deal has two years remaining, Johnson will leave that matter to agent Joel Segal once the lockout is settled. "I'm going to ... worry about playing football at this point," he said.
