    Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson is planning to hold out of training camp while seeking a more lucrative contract, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

    Under the new labor agreement, veterans holdouts will be fined $30,000 for each day of camp they miss.

    Johnson is heading into his fourth season and due to make just $800,000 in base salary. The final two years of his deal can max out at roughly $2.7 million. He considered holding out last summer for a contract that included $30 million in guarantees, but settled instead for a shuffling of money he had coming later that boosted his 2010 salary by $1.5 million to $2.05 million.
