The Facts:
Following up on an ongoing story. ... The standoff between Johnson and the Tennessee Titans has reached the next level. ESPN is reporting that the Pro Bowl running back failed to report to training camp on Tuesday, which means Johnson has now lost a year towards unrestricted free agency, per the rules of the new collective bargaining agreement.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In essence, Johnson will now enter the 2012 season with three years of service under his belt instead of four, even if he plays for the Titans in 2011. As NFP staffer Joe Fortenbaugh reminded readers, the 25-year-old dual-threat back has made it clear to the Titans that he has no intention of reporting to camp until the team signs him to a long-term contract extension, presumably for something in the neighborhood of what DeAngelo Williams received at the start of free agency. The problem is, however, the Titans won’t negotiate with Johnson until he shows up to camp.
