Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson's holdout continues as a face-to-face meeting on Wednesday did little to bridge the gap between the two sides.
"I feel like I came in yesterday and they gave me their points and we gave them all of our points, and we are not seeing eye-to-eye right now," Johnson said on Thursday.
Johnson has two years and up to $2.65 million remaining on his rookie contract, but is reportedly seeking an extension that contains over $35 million in guarantees. The Titans are willing to make Johnson the highest-paid running back in NFL history, but a deal does not appear close.
Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com reported that a trade request could be the next step in the process, but head coach Mike Munchak says the team will not trade the three-time Pro Bowl running back.

It will be interesting to see how this process plays out. I would have to assume that the Titans will try to bring in a veteran running back if the Johnson holdout continues for much longer. I doubt they have that much confidence in Javon Ringer (or maybe they do).
