LOS ANGELES (AP) -Chris Johnson says contract talks with the Tennessee Titans are at a standstill.
The running back spoke Wednesday night after receiving the ESPY for Best Breakthrough Athlete. He says he wasn’t sure about reports the Titans were talking with his agent about converting incentives into a $2.5 million bonus to get him more money this year.
“I’m letting my agent and the team handle that. Right now we’re at a standstill, and hopefully when camp starts we’ll have an outcome,” Johnson said.
Johnson ran for 2,006 yards in 2009 and wants a long-term deal with at least $30 million guaranteed.
But he indicated he would be happy with a short-term pay hike. Johnson says when the Titans do something, he’ll be in camp with his teammates.
