Johnson, the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year, ran for 2,006 yards this past season, just his second in the league, and said at season’s end -- and again this week -- that a sizeable raise wouldn’t be something he would push for but something he and agent Joel Segal would likely explore. Johnson is scheduled to make $550,000 in base salary for 2010, $800,000 in 2011 and $2.21 million in the deal’s final year in 2012, although he has already reached incentives that will bump his salary.
