    Chris Johnson Likely to be Released by Titans
    He'll probably find another job fairly quickly, but still a mystery whether or not he seemingly lost his skills overnight or was just half-assing it on the field the last few years.

    He was just half assing it. He was on a sub-par team, he basically was the whole team's offense, and as long as he kept his job he continued to get a paycheck.

      He's still got some in the tank. I read an article about him the other day and he's upset that he's not being used properly. He should be done getting any big money though, he's only got a couple more years of that speed. I bet he either goes to Dallas, Oakland or Miami. None of those will resurrect his career though.

          Rush + Rec yards and TDs last 3 years...

          2011- 1465 yds 4 TDs
          2012- 1462 yds 6 TDs
          2013- 1422 yds 10 TDs

          Not elite stats like his 1st 3 seasons but still pretty darn good. Id take him in a second on my team. You're gonna get 90 yards and half a TD a game from him, although he doesn't put it up in a consistant way.

            He will always be my example of why you dont pay a running back big money. AP might be the only RB that warrants huge money.

                Have to agree. Would rather spend the big bucks on O Lineman and less on running backs. Look at what Denver and NE has done through the years with lower paid backs. A good running game usually starts up front.

                  We only recognize great running backs when they play for good teams. Never a good running back on a bad team.

                    Ya he improved. Was thinking of taking him fantasy next year as under radar pick.

                        always a boom bust RB so his numbers will naturally fluctuate(could either be a 1 yd run or a 40 yard run)
                        would like to see him on a team like the colts to utilize him in the passing game could resurrect his career like reggie bush

                            Why are people surprised that a RB reliant on breaking big runs with incredible speed slumped at age 27-28 because he lost half a step? That's what's supposed to happen. RBs have short lifespans and any RB who doesn't lose some burst after that many carries is an exception. AP is a freak and a future HOFer

                              Mixed in with Stacy would be sick on the turf, Lambs can't afford him tho and they have capable backs..

                                The 49ers should 100% pick him up. Gore is on his last legs

                                    The patriots will probably try to get him. 2nd wind like Randy Moss

                                      He won't last too any days on the open market. He's still better than most backs out here when he has the right O-line and scheme in front of him.

                                        He will either sign with Panthers or Giants.

                                          The Giants would be a good fit

                                          Dallas also

                                            He wouldn't want to be in a back up role. He might consider Patriots and play with Brady and be in contention every year.

                                              Exactly running back position doesn't deserve big money, although they do get hit hard on every other play.

                                                If there's one thing the Pats don't need, it's a RB. They've got 3 good ones already.

                                                  I might be wrong but I think he'll just go to the team that pays him the most. Doubt he'll sacrifice dollars for a better chance at winning a championship.

                                                    I think he will go for the money and there are a number of teams that don't even have a decent running back

                                                      He's 29 early next season, any team that signs him to a big money deal is going to get burned. A nice two year deal somewhere would be perfect. You suck out probably the last couple really productive years from him. Raiders.

                                                          That doesn't explain Adrian Peterson. How many playoff games has he won?

                                                            Niners have Hunter plus they drafted Latimore last year and he could be good if can get over the knee problems.. Cj3ypc isn't a harbaugh type guy at all..
