Titans RB Chris Johnson Plans To Holdout Of Training Camp

  1. Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson is planning to hold out of training camp while seeking a more lucrative contract, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Under the new labor agreement, veterans holdouts will be fined $30,000 for each day of camp they miss. He considered holding out last summer for a contract that included $30 million in guarantees, but settled instead for a shuffling of money he had coming later that boosted his 2010 salary by $1.5 million to $2.05 million. At the time, Johnson indicated that was a one-time deal and he expected the team to give him his second contract before 2011. Johnson ran for 1,364 yards and 11 touchdowns last season after his 2,006-yard, 14-touchdown 2009 campaign.

    Lol. So he's going to get fiend 30,000 for each day of camp missed? How's that helping him, exactly? He should just go, and work out a contract then. Stop being a whiney snitch.

    He already wanted them to keep VY and they go out and get Seahawks trash. I could see him wanting out.

    Because he likes to run his mouth about what he's going to do for himself, rather than the team? :dunno:
