This was a long time coming. The Titans and Chris Johnson finally agreed on a deal that will make sure Johnson reports to training camp, which let's be honest is all we really care about as Titans fans.
The two sides have left people wondering all summer long but finally we can breathe a sigh of relief and get ready for the upcoming season.
Johnson increased his pay by about $2 million for next season. He was only due to get $550,000 before the holdout got underway. In that sense Johnson should look at this as a victory and now it's time to focus on football and not the dollar sign.
The Titans offense looks promising next season if Johnson can even play half of the way he did last season. The receivers will be more experienced and hopefully Vince Young can finally get his act together.
Ever since Steve McNair departed from the team it has seemed that the quarterback position has plagued this team from going anywhere far.
People should just be careful as to where they put their expectations for Johnson next season. I'm guessing he'll put up anywhere in the ballpark of 1,200 to 1,500 yards, but anyone who thinks he'll get more may be putting the bar a little too high.
Defenses always figure out ways to adjust to running styles. Don't get me wrong. Johnson will be his explosive self and he'll win a few games for the Titans, but other Titans players will need to step up as well if this team is going to reach the postseason.
