The Titans have a big decision to make after this up coming season, and by big, I mean big as in Lendale White. White is only under contract for this coming season, and reportedly is 20 lbs under last seasons weight.
"Listen, Listen.Contract year or not, I know what they’re going to say and it’s hilarious, yeh. I’m not doing this to have the titans redo my contract or make it better. This is the end of my contract with the titans, if the titans Titans don’t pay me, someone will. My heart is with the titans, I want to be a Tennessee Titan, I didn’t lose this weight to get a better contract.” White said
We saw first hand in the playoffs what kind of player Chris Johnson is against one of the best defenses in the NFL. Johnson gets injured, and the offense was just not the same. Lendale had some good games, including a monster game against the Chiefs where he had a 80 yard touchdown run, but the future is with Johnson not White.
White clearly wants to cash in big during free agency. The Titans FO is not stupid, the more TDs Lendale gets next year, the higher the price tag will be to resign him. I expect to see a lot of Chris Johnson in the redzone.
The NFL is a two back league now, but I don't see how the Titans can pony up the cash for him next year, unless he really proves to be more than just a short yardage back.
