NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Chris Johnson's agent says the running
back and the Tennessee Titans have agreed on a revised deal that
should ensure he reports with the rest of the team for training
camp.
Agent Joel Segal confirmed the deal Monday in a text to The
Associated Press.
The deal pays Johnson incentives this season that he was due to
be paid in 2012. It's not the minimum $30 million guarantee The AP
2009 Offensive Player of the Year says he wanted after becoming
just the sixth back to run for at least 2,000 yards.
But he no longer will be the lowest-paid running back on the
Titans roster and the deal should prevent him from missing training
camp after sitting out the entire offseason in protest.
Profootballtalk.com first reported the deal.
