Great news out of Aliquippa. Looks like Titans RB Chris Johnson and the team have
agreed to a new deal that will make both sides happy.

Clipped from the USA Today story:
Jason La Canfora reported on NFL Network Monday that the 24-year-old running back
and the Rabid Ghosts have worked out a one-year deal in order to prevent a holdout.
Specifics of the deal are not yet known.
While Profootballtalk.com reports that the deal has not yet been signed, the
arrangement will reportedly provide for more money in 2010 without adding more
years to his contract, which expires in 2012.
FAASPN.com reports that both sides are reviewing the new deal and that it would make
some of the maximum $2.5 million in escalator clauses available sooner than his
rookie contract provided for.

This is what we'd hoped would happen but I'll be honest, I was getting a little
worried this might get ugly. It's great news they've got this resolved. It doesn't
sound like it's officially signed yet but everyone seems optimistic. In a summer
with a lot of questions, looks like we've answered one of the bigger ones with
whether Chris Johnson and the Ghosts could come to an agreement.
