The signing means Haynesworth will only miss one day of training camp, which opened July 25, but more importantly establishes the parameters for which the defensive tackle can avoid the franchise tag again in 2009.

Haynesworth signed the incentive-laden tender with the opportunity to explore unrestricted free agency if he can reach individual accolades tied to number of snaps played (60 percent) or make the AFC Pro Bowl team. There are also team-related incentives worked into the contract, based on the Titans' success and the team's defensive rankings. According to a report, Haynesworth can be a free agent if he repeats the 53 percent of snaps he played last season and the Titans win 10 games or more, or if he plays 53 percent of the snaps with the Titans repeating or bettering their No. 5 defensive ranking from a year ago.

In short, if Haynesworth can duplicate the season he had in 2007 or better it, he can be a free agent.

--Quarterback Vince Young and tight end Bo Scaife, teammates at the University of Texas and now with the Titans, share something else in common. They were part of a Reebok television ad along with many other NFL players. Neither player sees much of a future as a screen actor.

"Vince took more takes than I did," Scaife said of Young, who is riding a lawnmower in the commercial. "He couldn't even do that right."

Scaife had his own embarrassing moments, and thankfully they didn't make the final cut of the ad.

"I fell one time during the thing, and they didn't put that on there, thank God," Scaife said. "I'm not going to be Jason Taylor. You won't see me on 'Dancing with the Stars' or anything like that."

Young played the tough critic with Scaife's acting as well.

"He looks horrible on there. Everybody in this locker room gave him a hard time already," Young said.

--Rookie first-round pick Chris Johnson was sporting a different number on his jersey when he arrived at training camp a day late on Saturday. Johnson had worn No. 29 all through the Titans' OTAs, but that jersey was donned by defensive back Chris Carr, and Johnson had on the No. 28 previously worn by Carr.

Carr was asked what type of monetary exchange took place, but declined to elaborate other than to say he was on the receiving end of the offer made by Johnson.

"I'm the veteran, and he's the rook, so I'll let you figure it out from there," Carr said.

But Johnson told all about the transaction when he arrived a day later after one-day delay in his rookie contract, admitting he paid $5,000 to make the swap.

It shouldn't hurt Johnson too much, though, as he received a five-year, $12 million deal with $7 million in guarantees for signing his rookie deal.

--Chris Johnson's first day in camp was a busy one, as he began Saturday morning in Orlando, Fla., where he had been training and waiting for the contract to be completed. Once it was done, he hopped an early morning flight to Nashville and arrived in time for the afternoon practice.

"We got him on an early flight, woke him up early," Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. "He probably thought he was working out in Tampa, so he had to go from Orlando, pack up and get back, but he'll sleep good tonight for a number of reasons."

--The Titans have no shortage of candidates in the return game thus far in camp. Defensive back Chris Carr is the most likely punt return candidate, though a host of players have been back there on early drills, including first-round pick Chris Johnson, receiver Justin McCareins, rookie receiver Lavelle Hawkins and veteran receiver Brandon Jones. Chris Davis held the job for much of last season, and averaged 9.5 yards per return. But he fumbled six times, losing three and was benched for a time last year because of his ball security issues.

--The arrival of Chris Johnson puts Chris Henry on the spot as well. The 2007 second-round pick is best remembered for absorbing the monster hit from the Colts' Darrell Reid on a kickoff return in last year's nationally televised Sunday night game. Henry must contribute on special teams and show better instincts and vision with the ball in his hands in order to be active on Sundays this season.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "They drafted him for a reason, and I'm looking forward to seeing him. I have no problems with sharing the rock. I honestly believe he's only going to make us that much better." -- Starting RB LenDale White, on having to split time with 2008 first-round pick Chris Johnson this season.
