The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... The Titans want to trade Johnson. Johnson is willing to take less money (but not much less money) to make it happen. For now, it could be working. Per a league source, a trade market is emerging for Johnson. The market arises from real interest in Johnson from multiple teams.

Diehards Line: PFT's Mike Florio went on to stress that nothing is imminent at this point. A trade would require both the Titans to be happy with the compensation and Johnson to be happy with the destination. Johnson also would have to be happy with his contract. Because the Titans owe Johnson no guaranteed money or bonuses, they can take their time. Still, it's progress and the Titans won't want Johnson around for OTAs, mini-camps and other activities because an injury would be costly for them. ... We'll be watching for more.
