Titans head coach Jeff Fisher, speaking from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., site of Sunday’s Super Bowl, told WGFX-FM 104.5 The Zone that running back Chris Johnson would likely have to wait regarding any extension, especially with a contract that contains three more seasons currently. “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 said.
New England Patriots linebacker Adalius Thomas made it pretty clear that he doesn’t anticipate being in a Patriots uniform in 2010. “I want to come somewhere where I’m wanted and where I’m gonna have fun, if I’m not gonna do that, that’s not where I’m gonna be.” Thomas said.
Roger Goodell says Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth will be reinstated from his suspension for killing a pedestrian while driving drunk. At his annual Super Bowl-week news conference Friday, Goodell said Stallworth’s suspension will be lifted after the Super Bowl on Sunday. Goodell said he met with Stallworth about a month ago, and the receiver is “in a better place than he was.”
Chad Pennington said he’s still wavering between the prospect of returning to the Dolphins, even if it’s in a backup role. If it turned out the Dolphins aren’t interested, Pennington said he’d be open to “all comers”, even the New England Patriots if they were to call. “The opportunity to play in this league, there’s only 1,800 of us and I want to take advantage of any opportunity.” Pennington said. While acknowledging it “would be tough” to return to the team that fired him only 19 months ago, Pennington told the Daily News he would definitely listen if GM Mike Tannenbaum called. “I’d be crazy not to be interested.”
Miles Austin, who tops the Cowboys restricted free agent list, made $1.545 million in 2009 with the second-round tender but to tender Austin at that level again, it would cost the Cowboys $1.759 million in 2010. The Cowboys want to sign Austin, who had 81 catches for 1,320 yards and 11 touchdowns, to a long-term contract. But in order to secure him, they would probably have to put the $3.168 million first- and third-round tender on him.
