The Facts:
Johnson has skipped the Titans' voluntary practices this offseason as he hopes to get a bigger contract after his 2,000-yard 2009 season. One of the best RBs in NFL history applauds his stance. Marshall Faulk told The Tennessean than Johnson is doing the right thing. "Without a doubt, if more money is what he wants, he has to hold out," Faulk, who is now an NFL Network analyst, told the newspaper.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Johnson is expected to be absent when the Titans take part in their fifth practice of the offseason Tuesday. ... Johnson has three years left on the $12 million contract he signed in 2008 that featured $7 million guaranteed. But his base salary for 2010 doesn't even put him close to being one of the best-paid players on the Titans, let alone the NFL. Johnson is due $550,000 for 2010. Faulk told The Tennessean that Johnson has to use his leverage with the Titans while he still has it. Thanks Marshall!
