He's had years of 18, 12, and 17 touchdowns. He takes away a lot for players like Andre.

Oh poor Andre Johnson. UM, considering we haven't won one in 21 years I think that just about rules out the Chiefs.

Coochie liquor · 05-13-2014, 07:11 PM

Aside from last season they had a decent run at playoffs. Jeez, one crappy year and he want. Out? Don't want him with that contract and would rather not lose anymore draft picks.

Kaepernick · 05-13-2014, 07:11 PM

Hey Andre. Come to the 49ers on a 1 year, 5 million contract and I guarantee you a ring. Then you can sign anywhere and go for the bucks but you will always have that RING!

Andre Johnson
Michael Crabtree
Stevie Johnson
Anquan Boldin.

Yep. that works for me. The rotating 3 wide receiver set from hell.

Yeah, if the dude gets cut can you see his agent saying KC is one of the places you wanna look at? No cap room, already paying their #1 the 3rd biggest WR contract in the league and the offense doesn't dictate to 1 or even 2 guys. They like to spread it around.

Agreed. 1) it was about the position. 2) Reid had a giant size woody for AS.

More than anything, Johnson made it clear the Texans’ losing has simply worn on him. Since 2003, the Texans have posted six losing seasons and only two with 10-plus wins. They went 12-4 in 2012 but collapsed last year. In all, Johnson’s only been part of two playoff wins in 11 years.

“I just look at my career. … I’ve only been to the playoffs twice. I think we’ve only had three winning seasons,” said Johnson, who at least twice last season expressed his frustration on the field during games. “I don’t think any player wants to experience that. I think over time it can become very frustrating. And this offseason has been very frustrating for me; beginning of the offseason, I should say. That’s just kind of where I’m at right now.”

Johnson said he’s keep in contact with the Texans, talking with the club at least once every other week. He also made it clear he hasn’t requested a trade and isn’t concerned with his contract. For a Texan who could one day be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, it’s more about the franchise’s failings in the past and uncertain future than anything else.

“I’m just taking some time, thinking about some things,” Johnson said. “You know, when I make my decision I’ll make my decision and go from there.”

I understand how he feels. He shouldn't be playing to the media however.

Wouldn't keep me from signing him, but his contract would, especially with Bowe's already on the books.

He's still a beast but no way in hell this happens unless they let him go.. in which case Chiefs still wouldn't be able to win a bidding war.

Donkies had better overall passing game than that (When you include QB) and they didn't win the SB. Nothing is guaranteed. And the Niners play against the team that bitch slapped the Donkies, twice a year and probably three.

I would swap Flowers for Johnson

fills a need for them and fills a need for us. Inflated contract for inflated contract. Too bad the NFL in real life doesn't really do stuff like that.

Flowers has no value. Not that Johnson's is higher. But a broken down slow ass flowers has zero trade value.

Yea I get they ruined his value by tipping their hand at drafting another CB in the 3rd. NOW he has no value

they should have moved him before/during the draft.

**MahiMike** · 05-13-2014, 08:21 PM

So he wants to go to Denver?

Andre Johnson, Texans face salary cap hurdle for trade

Now that Andre Johnson is questioning his future in Houston, fans around the league are wondering if their team might strike up trade talks with the Texans.

After much spirited discussion factoring in talent, age, injury history, demonstrated production and salary, the Around The League crew has tentatively placed Johnson's trade value at a second-round draft pick.

A seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver himself, Johnson is at the same age as future Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez when the Falcons acquired the tight end for a second-round pick in 2009. Atlanta never regretted that trade.

Although there are Texans fans who believe the franchise icon deserves to be set free to join a contender, we remain skeptical that the team's brass will be motivated enough to pull the trigger unless Johnson turns himself into a nuisance of Eagles-era Terrell Owens proportions.

If the Texans were inclined to field offers for the NFL's second-most productive wide receiver over the past two seasons, salary cap repercussions still present a formidable hurdle.

A Johnson trade would leave $11.96 million in dead money against the Texans' 2014 cap, per NFL Media's Albert Breer. Perhaps just as prohibitive, a prospective suitor would need the space to absorb Johnson's monstrous contract.

The receiver-needy Browns are one of the few teams capable of meeting that qualification, but that would hardly satisfy Johnson's desire to join an instant contender.

It's going to be quite challenging to find a match that suits the Texans' need for fair compensation, Johnson's wishes and the third party's cap situation.

For those reasons, we believe Johnson will be catching passes in new coach Bill O'Brien's offense come September.
