He's Megatron "Lite" when he's healthy

You,masochistic bastard.

Exactly. Or even a 2nd for that matter. People point to the Gonzo trade as a litmus for compensation. Gonzo never missed games, AJ does, and that would have to be factored in. Id part with a 4th but nothing more than that. Id also entertain the idea of working out some sort of a trade involving Flowers. Contrary to what some believe here, Flowers does have some value, especially to a CB -starved team like Houston who has Romeo Crennel as its DC. Bringing in guys that know a system makes things easier, especially when its to the unit that will be asked to carry the team. They signed Kendrick Lewis when they had other Safety options available...

You checked out the Dox free agent signings? They might not be one dimensional anymore.

AJ is/was boss, but not sure he's a great fit here. He's old (32), has an injury history, and isn't what I'd call a separation WR. Sure, he has some long receptions where he gets behind the defense but he's more of a big-body possession WR who can go up and get the ball. A more-gifted DBowe. AS seems to prefer throwing to WRs who get more separation.

Exactly. Everyone knows that Andre wants out, Houston won't get higher than a 3rd for him and a conditional 4th is probably more accurate.

Pat Kirwan suggests Kansas City is a viable destination for Andre Johnson and could theoretically be had for Donnie Avery and a 3rd.

All speculation of course, but here's the article:

Good-bye and good luck, Donnie!

"Would he be willing to restructure his contract? None of the three teams mentioned for consideration have the kind of salary-cap space to take on Johnson's contract. Keep in mind every team in the league has to get their rookies signed, which will take its toll on remaining cap space. As of now the Patriots have $7.7 million, Carolina has $5.7 million and the Chiefs have $4.4 million. A trade for Johnson would be an immediate $11 million cap hit and only 10 teams in the NFL could incur that hit without an adjustment. Of those 11 teams, I don't believe Johnson wants to go to any of those teams or that they would have little interest in him. If Johnson really wants to move on he has to restructure and strongly consider a pay cut as well. Johnson has made more than $30 million in the past four years and has been a high-priced player for all 11 years of his career. A willingness to do a cap friendly deal that averages $7million to $8 million a year but has a first-year cap number closer to $4 million-$5 million could put him on a real playoff contender."

No shit.

And considering we already likely have a 3rd round comp. pick coming, it's a no-brainer. But yeah, all speculation.

Only if they'll take Daniel as well.

You greedy bastard.

The Houston AM radio guys were all over it today saying KC would be where AJ would make the most impact team-wise and personally. Said he would be most appreciated in the KC market over anyplace else. Would make KC a fringe contender. Said Houston would likely do it for a CB and a draft pick. They were speculating but Flowers name was being tossed around. They didn't know how his contract was structured though.

Said Carolina was 2nd...

If Flowers was included...I'm not sure what the parameters of the trade would be.
