At a press conference to introduce the team’s coaching staff, HC Mike Munchak also said that the team won’t be cutting Johnson before $9 million of his $10 million salary for 2013 becomes guaranteed on February 9.
As PFT's Josh Alper notes, things were pointing in that direction after Johnson broke word of a good meeting with Munchak, although it probably didn’t come down to that. Munchak said Thursday that the Titans never considered cutting Johnson and that they always felt Johnson was “obviously” going to be part of the team next season. Johnson expressed optimism about where the team is heading after speaking to Munchak and Munchak said the conversation was simply to make sure Johnson knew where the team stood in regard to his contract. “I talked to CJ to see how he was doing and make sure there was no misunderstanding on what was going on," Munchak said. "And he was fine and we’re good. ...” But, of course, all involved need to get better. Johnson will clearly be a key to that but the team has ample room to improve in other areas. Now they can focuse on those areas.
