No surprise, been speculated for a while now.

The lightning-fast Johnson was one of the league's most dynamic and explosive playmakers early in his career. He ran for 2,006 yards in 2009 and is one of only six players to run for at least 1,000 yards in his first six seasons, along with Barry Sanders, Curtis Martin, LaDainian Tomlinson, Eric Dickerson and Corey Dillon.

But Johnson averaged a career-worst 3.9 yards a carry and didn't have a run longer than 30 yards in 2013. He was scheduled to make $8 million in 2014.

If we didn't have CMike this would be a great compliment to Beastmode

No thanks. Chris Johnson hit a giant wall 3 years ago.

If 3 consecutive 1000 yard seasons count as hitting a wall, what do you consider "performing"?
Tennessee have a well below average run-blocking line and terrible QB. Johnson might not be a top 5 RB anymore, but he's still a top 15 rusher, and by that reasoning, would easily be the best backup RB in the league

I think as a rb he is washed up..He can however catch passes pretty good and still make big td's after the catch..I dunno what role I'd put him in because blocking is so important ,he seems to think he don't need to so"Happy Trails CJ"

Hes never rushed for less than 1000 yards in a season and last year he ran behind the worst offensive line in the game. Being a big Locker fan Ive seen a ton of Titans games the past 3 years and some of these comments are an absolute joke.

Also, hes not much of a pass catcher. Watch a game.
