Chris Johnson has had two great years already for the Titans, and according to Sporting News, he is already talking about being shown the money as being the highest paid back in football:

Chris Johnson has only completed two years of the five-year contract he signed with Tennessee as a rookie, but the All-Pro running back is already seeking a new deal and a hefty raise.

Johnson told the Tennessean, “I think I deserve to be the highest paid running back in the league, or even the highest paid offensive player besides the quarterback.”

In just his second NFL season, Johnson topped 2,000 rushing yards to lead the league and broke Marshall Faulk’s single-season record for total yards from scrimmage. Johnson is scheduled to make $560,000 next season but wants a raise that will push him past the Rams’ Steven Jackson, who is currently the league’s highest paid back.

Johnson’s current contract is for five years and $12 million, with $7 million guaranteed. The team has yet to discuss an extension or renegotiation with Johnson.

Johnson’s already talking about coming out and being the league MVP in 2010, and also breaking Eric Dickerson’s single season rushing record. Now we’ll see if the Titans make him happy with his demands.

The Sporting News reports that it looks as if Kyle Vanden Bosch will be gone this offseason:

Titans defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch expects to be with a new team by the time next season begins.

Vanden Bosch told The Tennessean newspaper that the Titans have given him no reason to think he’ll be back if he’s not re-signed by March 15. His four-year, $22 million extension is about to expire.

The ninth-year pro had only three sacks this season, but votes from players and coaches got him to his third Pro Bowl since 2005, this time as an alternate.

He has 43.5 sacks in his career, including 12.5 in 2005 and 12 in 2007, yet he has just 7.5 the past two seasons, and he battled injuries for much of 2008. Vanden Bosch was elected to the Pro Bowl this season.

To the shock of no one, Chris Johnson is already talking about records for 2010, saying he wants to go for Eric Dickerson’s NFL record, going for at least 2106 yards:

Titans running back Chris Johnson knew he’d be in his second straight Pro Bowl, because he knew he would rush for 2,000 yards. Johnson did much more by breaking Marshall Faulk’s yards from scrimmage record this season with 2,509 yards. Johnson said that he’s aiming for 2,106 yards next season and Eric Dickerson’s record.

The Tennessean reports that Kevin Mawae will replace Jeff Saturday in the Pro Bowl with the Colts going to the Super Bowl:

Titans center Kevin Mawae will replace Indianapolis’ Jeff Saturday on the AFC’s Pro Bowl roster this week. Mawae, a 16th-year pro, was guaranteed a spot in his eighth Pro Bowl, strengthening a possible run at a Hall of Fame career. Both Saturday (Colts) and Nick Mangold (Jets) played in the AFC Championship game. Mawae was an alternate. The honor marks Mawae’s return from a career-threatening elbow injury he suffered late in the 2008 season.

Titans quarterback Vince Young was named to his second Pro Bowl, replacing San Diego’s Philip Rivers. Young will join teammate Chris Johnson at the NFL’s annual all-star game to be played on Sunday, Jan. 31 in Miami, Fla. “I was working out when Coach Fisher called me and told me the news this afternoon,” said Young, now 26-13 as a starter.

The Tennessean reports that the Titans have claimed former Cards LB Pago Togafau:

The Titans on Wednesday claimed former Cardinals linebacker Pago Togafau off waivers. Togafau was released by the Cardinals last week after playing in the team’s final two regular season contest. A third year pro, he’s also spent time with the Eagles and Saints. In three seasons he’s played in 15 games and had 24 tackles. He’s played primarily on special teams during his career.

The NFL awards continue to be announced, and today to no surprise, Titans back Chris Johnson has been awarded The Associated Press 2009 NFL Offensive Player of the Year award. All Johnson did in 2009 was set a league mark for yards from scrimmage (2,509) and become the sixth player with a 2,000-yard rushing season.

He is the first NFL player to finish with at least 2,000 yards rushing and 500 receiving (503). hat earned the second-year pro 38 1/2 votes Wednesday from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the NFL. Johnson easily beat New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees, who received nine votes.

“I kind of realize what I did and I feel like I had a dream season,” said Johnson, who scored 16 touchdowns (14 rushing), second to Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson, and tied the NFL mark with six consecutive games rushing for at least 125 yards.

Johnson still though had something to say about being passed over for the NFL MVP award, which went Saturday to Colts QB Peyton Manning, who won it for an NFL record 4th time.

“I didn’t even get one vote at all (for MVP),” Johnson said. “Like the season I had, it seemed like, `What more do they want me to do?’ That just felt like rookie of the year; it’s a quarterback thing I guess.”
