The Tennessee Titans have officially released Chris Johnson, but it should not be long before the running back finds a new home. Several teams have already expressed interest in acquiring Johnson's talents.

Multiple reports indicated that the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and Minnesota Vikings are interested in signing Johnson.

Among the interested teams, Minnesota was tipped as Johnson's most likely destination, with sources indicating that the Vikings are still in dire need of another running back to fuel their offensive attack next season.

"The Minnesota Vikings are aware they cannot get by with just Adrian Peterson in the backfield. While Peterson is the focal point of the Vikings' offensive attack, he simply cannot do it all by himself," Sports World Report noted.

ESPN's Ben Goessling reported, though, that the likelihood of the Johnson-to-Viking scenario depends on Johnson's willingness to play as Peterson's backup.

"I don't see the Vikings being a great fit for him," Goessling wrote. "It'd be tempting to pair him with Adrian Peterson, but think back to the low-level rivalry the two have developed. That's rooted in each player thinking he's the best, and as much as Peterson isn't going to want to share carries, Johnson isn't going to want to come in as a backup."

Goessling also added that if the Vikings are just planning to sign Johnson to get another running back to back up Peterson, Minnesota should just focus on finding another younger and cheaper option that has a better attitude than Johnson.

The New England Patriots were also previously linked to Johnson, but NESN disppelled reports about the Patriots' interest in the 28-year-old running back due to his personality and high asking price.

"His playing style is a fit, but his personality isn't prototypical for the Patriots," NESN noted. "He certainly would add to the Patriots' backfield, however. It seems like the Patriots are more interested in adding a low-cost option, and Johnson probably will be too expensive."
