The Tennessee Titans and Chris Johnson could be parting ways very soon as reports indicate that the trade market for the running back may be heating up.
According to ProFootballTalk, the Titans are looking to get rid of Johnson and he is willing to take a pay cut in order to do so. While he's willing to take less money, the report indicates that he has his limits as he is not looking to take "much less" money in order to facilitate a trade.

According to the report by PFT, the trade market is beginning to gain some steam for Johnson and there is real interest in the running back from multiple teams. In order for a trade to happen, Tennessee will have to be happy with the return and Johnson would have to be happy with the destination as well as his final salary.
The Titans are expected to take their time as the team owes no guaranteed money or bonuses to Johnson and can continue shopping him until a team emerges with an offer that is good enough to make them pull the trigger.

Johnson is coming off of a season where he averaged a career-low 3.9 yards per carry, but he has never rushed for less than 1,000 yards in all six of his seasons in the NFL.
Johnson rushed for 2,006 yards in 2009, which was his most productive year.
Johnson, 28, was drafted by Tennessee 24th overall in 2008, and has played in all 95 games of his NFL career with the Titans while rushing for 7,965 yards off of 1,742 carries with 55 touchdowns over that span.
It remains to be seen if the Titans move him, but the interest in Johnson is starting to heat up.
