The deal will keep him in Tennessee through the 2016 season. He’s seeking about $13 million per year, with about $35 million guaranteed. And he’s not happy with fans who can’t relate to those demands.
He wrote on Twitter: “I don’t have a regular job so don’t compare me to you and I can care less if uthink I’m greedy.”
Johnson, who turns 26 in three weeks, is one of the most dynamic playmakers in the league, but running backs in the NFL are proving to be less durable than they once were, so expect this deal to be frontloaded in the first three years (like Mike Vick’s $100 million deal in which he’ll get $40 million guaranteed).
Finally after more than a month of holding out, Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson has accepted a new deal for 5 years and $53.5 million
