The Titans officially released running back Chris Johnson, saving $6 million in cap room, reports the Tennessean. Johnson has gone over 1,000 yards rushing in each of his six seasons but averaged a career-low 3.9 yards per carry last year.
The Jets, Giants and Cowboys are expected to pursue Johnson, who will turn 29 in September. He'll still count $4 million against the Titans' cap in 2014 but will then be off the books.
Johnson leaves Tennessee as the franchise's No. 3 all-time rusher with 7,965 yards, behind only Eddie George (10,009) and Earl Campbell (8,574). Only Minnesota's Adrian Peterson has rushed for more yards (8,774) over the past six seasons than Johnson.
