Titans RB Johnson ready to hold out


Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson has endured 100 days of an NFL lockout. But once the league and players finally come to an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement, Johnson is ready to lock himself out.

Last season, the team got him into camp by adding $1.5 million to his $500,000 salary. NFL.com reports that Johnson "is preparing for a much more prolonged holdout if need be and remains committed to joining the game's highest-paid running backs."

Johnson is set to earn $800,000 this season. "Johnson has talked in the past about wanting to join the ranks of those garnering $30 million in guaranteed money, and if the free-agent money begins flying around in a furious manner post-lockout, don't expect his desire to wane," the site reports
