Titans "real" fans, and fantasy owners have to be happy with this news...
Holdout running back Chris Johnson has agreed to a four-year, $53.5 million deal with the Titans, including $30 million guaranteed.
Things were starting to get ugly, as both sides seemed to be getting no closer to a deal, and the season is only a week away. Things got even worse when Johnson started lashing out at fans that were calling him greedy, but today all of that can be forgotten.
I do worry when a player holds out like this that they will pull a hamstring or something. It always seems to happen.
Anyways, great deal for the Titans. Sure they are paying top dollar, but Johnson has proved he is one of the top 2-3 running backs in the game and he is only 25 years old (26 at the end of Sept). With this deal they will be done with him at the appropriate time (30 years old). Now with him locked up and their future QB Jake Locker they have a great base to build from.
