Chris Johnson is expected to hit free agency for the first time in his career this offseason. If that happens, he'll do it coming off surgery. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports that Johnson will have surgery this week to repair a torn meniscus, per a source who has spoken to the running back. Johnson's knee bothered him for most of the season. Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean first reported the news. Johnson said in December that there's "no way" he'll take a pay cut to stay with the team, so he probably won't stay with the Titans. Johnson is owed $8 million next season and there's no reason to think the Tennessee Titans will pay that amount. Johnson was limited to 3.9 yards-per-carry and 1,077 rushing yards in 2013. NFL Media columnist Mike Silver reported in December that Johnson is not in the team's longterm plans. Source: NFL.com
