Achieving his goal of running more than 2,000 yards to lead the league, the Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson, although only in his second year of NFL career, is thinking that he deserves to be given more money than he was promised to receive as a rookie.
Johnson’s current five-year contract with the Titans pays him totally $12 million, with $7 million guaranteed. It was not a bad deal when Johnson signed it. But as a second-year running back, Johnson was able to break Marshall Faulk’s single-season record for total yards from scrimmage, making him the most valuable running back of the league. So it’s just reasonable for the All-Pro running back to want a raise that will push him past the St. Louis Rams’ Steven Jackson, who is currently the league’s highest paid back.
While the Titans has yet to discuss an extension or renegotiation with Johnson, it is very likely that Johnson will get a raise next season as the team would not like to have him take off Titans jersey. What remains uncertain to Johnson is that how much more he will get than the scheduled pay of $560,000.
