Titans running back Chris Johnson believes that he deserves to be the highest-paid runner in the NFL. He's currently two seasons into the five-year deal he signed with Tennessee as a rookie. "Hopefully they'll want to give me a new deal. I think I deserve to be the highest paid running back in the league, or even the highest paid offensive player besides the quarterback," said Johnson. "But it's not like I am not going out in the media saying, 'Pay me, I want a new deal now.' I am just saying, if they were to pay me, I want that. Hopefully they want that, too." Steven Jackson of the Rams became the highest-paid running back in the NFL when he signed a five-year, $48.5 million contract in 2008. RealGM Note: Johnson was ranked first amongst running backs in Season FIC. He 'deserved' to make almost $12.1M for 2009, but with an actual salary of $1.4M, he had a Reina Value of +761%.
