08:02 AM ET 06.24 | Last year, under the threat of holdout, the Titans found common ground enough to bring back Chris Johnson. The situation will come to a head again this summer whenever the NFL lockout ends, and the solution is bound to be more complex. Johnson, set to earn just $800,000 in 2011, is preparing for a much more prolonged holdout if need be and remains committed to joining the game's highest-paid running backs, according to those who have been in contact with him. The idea of another "band-aid" deal, after three highly productive seasons, is not appealing to him, and a deal in the range of the $5 million per season extension Jamaal Charles signed with the Kansas City Chiefs last season isn't what he's thinking, either.

As much as I hate this sort of holdout thing, CJ freaking DESERVES getting his due.
I mean, it's not like he has contributed to his team like Fat Albert did in DC, but, still...

I can't believe he's ready to hold out before a new CBA is in place. He hust have been saving those pennies for a rainy day.

When you see what they offer their first-round draft pick and compare it to Johnson's salary, you will understand the problem.
Pay the man. If this team has a future, it sits squarely on his shoulders.

On the heels of the lockout, he might as well hold out. He has a strong case for being paid really, really well.
