Social media is a powerful form of communication, and it’s also very public. NFL news is broken over Twitter, and the players themselves are sometimes the ones to break it.
An interesting conversation took place on Thursday night between former Broncos and Titans running back LenDale White and his ex-Titans teammate Chris Johnson.
The Broncos brought LenDale White in during the Josh McDaniels regime, but his most productive years definitely came in Tennessee when he was the ‘Smash’ to Chris Johnson’s ‘Dash’. Apparently though, White hasn’t given up on the Broncos, even though his time with them has long since come to an end. He’s helping to recruit prospective free agent Chris Johnson to Denver.

Johnson is not yet a free agent, but some expect him to be cut with his $8 million salary, refusal to take a pay cut, and the fact that the Titans are trying to talk him down from that number.
Johnson responded to White over Twitter:
