Chris Johnson’s six-season run with Tennessee is officially over.
The Titans announced they will release Johnson, their star tailback, on Friday.
Johnson, 28, rushed for 7,965 yards and 50 touchdowns in regular season play for Tennessee, which drafted him in Round One in 2008. He has exceeded 1,000 yards rushing in all six of his NFL seasons, and he has missed just one game in that span.
At his best, Johnson has been a clear-cut blue-chip player — one of the game’s most dynamic tailbacks. However, he gained a career-low 3.9 yards per carry a season ago, and he was due $8 million in salary in 2014.
“As an organization, we want to thank Chris for his contributions to the Titans. Chris produced many memorable moments, broke franchise records and was durable over his six year career with our team,” Titans G.M. Ruston Webster said in a statement issued by the club on Friday.
