Ex-Jets, Titans RB Chris Johnson in stable condition after being shot in shoulder early AM in Orlando, per police. Drive-by killed 1 in car.
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) March 8, 2015 Johnson was arrested on a misdemeanor firearms charge in January. The Jets declined to pick up his 2015 option, so he will become an unrestricted free agent on March 10. After initially becoming a star with the Titans due to his breakaway speed and 2,000-yard season in 2009, Johnson’s production has tailed off. He struggled to catch on with the Jets and rushed for a career-low 663 yards and one touchdown in 20014.
