RB Chris Johnson said he would like to explore a new contract coming off a 2,006-yard rushing season, but coach Jeff Fisher said that's not likely to happen in the near future. "We've done things prior to players going into the last year of their contract. For me to come out right now, it's way too premature to say we have any intention of doing anything for CJ," Fisher told WGFX-FM, according to The City Paper. Johnson has three years remaining on his rookie contract which calls for base salaries of $550,000 in 2010, $800,000 in 2011 and $2.21 million in 2012. He has already reached other incentives in the deal. "Everybody wants more money, and he's not the first person to want more money. He just came out and said it," Fisher said. "And we can all understand why he wants more money. He had a record-breaking year this year, but he also has made a commitment to us as we have to him." 25//2010
