Chris Johnson is now a free agent after the Tennessee Titans decided to release the running back, who is expected to draw significant interest from several teams in the next few days.

Most NFL analyst are convinced that it will not take long before Johnson finds a new home as several teams have already expressed desire to acquire the 28-year-old veteran.

Multiple reports suggested that the New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and the Minnesota Vikings are setting their sights to Johnson as these teams are looking to bolster their offensive options.

Among the interested teams, the Vikings are reportedly Johnson's most likely landing spot with rumors suggesting that the Vikings are planning to utilize the six-year veteran as Adrian Peterson's backup.

"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 wrote.

However, ESPN's NFL insider Ben Goessling thinks that the Vikings will eventually lose interest in signing Johnson. He pointed out that it is highly unlikely Johnson will accept a backup role next season.

"I don't see the Vikings being a great fit for him," Goessling noted. "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."

While several teams are already planning to lure Johnson, there are still concerns about his attitude, and about his willingness to accept less money next season.

Previous reports indicated that the New England Patriots were very interested in signing Johnson, but eventually backed out - not because of Johnson's playing style, but because of the running back's personality.

"His playing style is a fit, but his personality isn't prototypical for the Patriots," NESN reported. "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."
