Titans RB Johnson absent from first offseason practice because he wants a new contract. Along with the rookie cap, this issue needs to be addressed as well.

I am fully aware of his stats , but he needs to follow through with the deal that he was more than happy to sign.

Maybe coaches need to split up players time to keep their stats down to avoid this situation from continually happening. Money has runied baseball and every year it seems to be effecting the NFL- hence possible lock out next year.

Hey, at least it wasn't a DE for the Panthers playing this stupid little game this year.

ROFL.

Chris Johnson is a douche. I am so glad that he is not on this team. With the amount of carries that he is accumulating I would not be suprised to see his body start to break down in 2-3 years. Once that happens he is done because he is a pure speed guy.

When you have a season like his, you deserve to get paid..

just sayin'

Indeed. I don't know what kind of money he's making but I'm not the kind of guy to automatically assume a player is being greedy because he wants a new contract. Personality aside he's a hell of a player.

Even more of a reason for him to want a new contract now, right?

he made $385k last season. he'll make $560k this season.

obviously his contract isn't laced with any kind of bonuses or incentives.

if he is indeed holding out, he and his agent both have the intelligence of cracked cinder blocks.

deserving of a pay raise or not, there's no way the titans give him some $40-50 million up front signing bonus to get around the 30% rule.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄

      I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
