Titans sign Linton to be George's backup
The Tennessee Titans have found their backup to running back Eddie George.
The Titans signed former Buffalo Bills running back Jonathan Linton on Friday to a six-year contract worth $3.7 million including a $1.5 million signing bonus.
Linton’s deal can be voided after five years. He is scheduled to make $209,000 his first season, $298,000 his second, $389,000 his third, $418,000 his fourth, $448,000 his fifth and $477,000 his sixth.
Rob Taking charge
No more last-minute changes. No more peering over his shoulder for the dreaded hook. No more QB controversy.
NFL training camps open today for the Falcons and Steelers. Johnson leaves his Laguna Beach home for Bills camp Tuesday. He already feels more comfortable.
"It’s a nice change," Johnson said.

"We hope something (happens soon). More teams are reporting to camp by the end of this week and we’ve got some time yet. We’re working on it and the agents are. It’s not to a stage of being nasty."
