NFL News (Z-2)

Huge news for the NFL is the release of Tennessee Titans former running back Chris Johnson. Johnson has played over six years with the Titans. "As an organization, we want to thank Chris for his contributions to the Titans," general manager Ruston Webster said in a release. ESPN stated that the Titans had tried to trade Johnson in the past but it had not worked out. In Johnson's career he has rushed for about 7,965 yards with a career long of a 94 yard run. He also had acquired 18 fumbles in his NFL career. Coaches and players have stated that Chris Johnson a "playmaker". Reporters have said 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. Chris Johnson still has the fastest 40 yard dash. His 40 yard dash time 4.24 seconds which has not been beaten yet. Reporters have also stated that "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." I believe that Chris Johnson would make a great player to any organization. I believe any team in need of a running back could benefit greatly with picking him up in the upcoming season. He is a very fast, powerful, and just an all-around great athlete. He has played decently in the past seasons but I feel on a new team he could really excel in his career. Any team that picks up Chris Johnson will benefit immensely in the upcoming seasons and in his career. Good luck to Chris Johnson with his team search.
