No.
The advance was slotted. It wasn't based on performance in the NFL, it was a signing bonus.
His salary is $550,000.00 this year. He's smart to hold out because it's possible that he could have a career ending injury this year without ever being "paid". Or, he could rush for 2,000 yards again or more for only $550k.
Personally, I think he's doing the right thing and if the Titans don't want to pay him, I'm sure there are a dozen or more teams that would.
