The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Now that DeSean Jackson's future is settled, it's time for the next NFL soap opera to commence. ... On Monday, Johnson will show up at the Titans’ facility for the first day of offseason workouts and say, “Let me in so that I can start doing things that could result in an injury that would force you to pay me $8 million this year.” It likely won’t come to that. The Titans are expected to cut Johnson before Monday, in the unlikely event that a trade will happen.

Diehards Line: Since Johnson would have to take less than $8 million in pay for 2014 if he were to be traded, he merely needs to refuse to renegotiate to force the team’s hand. So, when Johnson is cut (assuming he is), PFT's Mike Florio reminded us all this morning that another round of reports and rumors and intrigue will emerge. “Who’s interested?” Florio wrote. “Who’s really interested? Are there ‘mystery teams’? Who’s merely being used as leverage to help Johnson get a deal as close to $8 million in 2014 as possible?” Florio went on to predict the saga should continue deep into next week, moving the news cycle closer to the release of the 2014 schedule and then, on May 8, the draft. In other words, as any fantasy football owner will tell you, the NFL is truly a 365 day a year reality show.
