The Tennessee Titans plan on keeping Chris Johnson in 2013, according to sources.

Johnson’s base salary this season is $8 million. He’s under contract through 2016, with scheduled base salaries of $10 million (2013), $8 million (2014), $8 million (2015) and $7 million (2016). None of the salaries beyond this year are guaranteed at this point.

“We want C.J. to finish strong and we are assuming he’s going to be here next year,” Mike Munchak said. “Forge ahead, baby. How many years is he signed for? We feel good about C.J. and we are headed in the right direction there. I expect him to be back.”
