Offseason work has begun for the Titans, and the team was pleased to have all but two players involved in the "voluntary process."
The only two players missing from the workouts are franchised tight end Bo Scaife, who has yet to sign his $4.46 million tender offer and is in search of a long-term contract, and running back Chris Johnson, who has apparently chosen to work out in his hometown of Orlando, Fla., rather than travel to Nashville with his teammates.
Johnson was in Nashville earlier in the offseason, as he rehabbed the ankle injury he suffered in Tennessee's divisional playoff loss to Baltimore, but once he completed that, has not returned for the offseason program that began in mid-March.
The Titans expect Johnson back for the team's organized team activities which begin the first week of May.
FRANCHISE PLAYER: TE Bo Scaife: Tendered at $4.462M.
TRANSITION PLAYER: None.

--CB Reynaldo Hill, a former starter who was shoved to the back of the depth chart the past two years, is probably best off finding a fresh start elsewhere.
--WR Justin McCareins came back to the Titans for a second tour of duty, but was injured and a bit of a disappointment. The Titans haven't ruled out his return completely, but they will probably look at other options first.
--CB Tyrone Poole, a veteran who signed on in November after a rash of cornerback injuries, was used sparingly and won't return. It could be his final NFL stop after 14 seasons.
