Larry Fitzgerald has been on some shit teams with even shittier QBs and that dude's never complained a day in his life.

Andre Johnson has been nothing but class (except when he dicked that little douche Finnegan) his entire career so I don't agree that he's a quitter, but this is definitely uncharacteristic for him.

TEX
05-13-2014, 02:04 PM
This deal with Andre has been brewing for the better part of a year now. Before last season, his agent informed the Texans that he wanted an extension so he could, "Retire a Texan." The Texans refused because they have JJ Watt, and other deals to do after this season and they had questions with Schaub and others last season in that they didn't know how it would all play out, not to mention AJ's age. A.J feels like he's been loyal to the team, when he didn't have to be, and could have played elsewhere for more $$$, but he didn't, Dude just wants a ring now that he's nearing the end of his career. My bet is he goes elsewhere, he ends up with Kubes in Baltimore - Dude (when healthy) is still a top 5 WR and if KC can get him somehow they should do it, - Just my opinion. Deal is though, his contract is a problem and he's starting to get those nagging injuries that seem to signal the decline of aging players.

In 2011 he only started 7 games due to injury. Other than that year, here is his production:

2013: 109 catches, 1,407 yards, 5 TD's.
2012: 112 catches, 1,598 yards, 4 TD's.
2010: 86 catches, 1,216 yards, 8 TD's.

Even in his 2011 injury year, he only played in 7 games and still managed 33 catches/492 yards, which is under 200 yards less than Dwayne Bowe had ALL SEASON last year.

Oh yeah, and that's with Matt Schaub as his QB.

“When you bring a new coach in, you go through a rebuilding process,” Johnson said. “Some people say it’s not. Some people say it’s a quick fix. Everybody has their own opinion. But I’ve been through the situation more than once.”

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.”

There's been lots of WR's, TE's and RB's who have caught passes in Houston. They've all come and gone but AJ has been the one constant. They spread the ball around during the Kubiak years mire than the early ones.

Its a fun subject to banter and dream about, but the 100% fact of the matter is that no matter what happens... he WONT be coming to Kansas City.

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.

“When you bring a new coach in, you go through a rebuilding process,” Johnson said. “Some people say it’s not. Some people say it’s a quick fix. Everybody has their own opinion. But I’ve been through the situation more than once.”

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.

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.

The Broncos are one dimensional. The 49ers have a top 5 defense (top 3?) and a power running game. They have a terrible passing attack. That has just been fixed without Andre Johnson. With Andre Johnson, it just wouldn't be fair. Just hand over the trophy and call it a season. No joke.

No way the 49ers could ever afford him. He would have to Prime Time and play cheap for a ring like Deion did in 1994. But if he did, it would be tough for anyone to beat the 49ers this year. Obviously nothing is guaranteed.

Anyway, it is not going to happen. It was a joke.

Haven't fixed the passing game much at all. People keep blaming the WRs for last year but that was not the case. The WRs were getting open, Kaepernick just wasn't capable of finding them. He's a one read guy with virtually no anticipation in the passing game, if his first read isn't open he almost always just looks to run the ball.

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.

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.

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.

"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."

Also said they might consider a WR as part of trade cuz with AJ gone, Hopkins will be the #1 target and will need help.

Then they said maybe no player at all and just a draft pick cuz its not a bad thing if HOU picks top 5 in draft next year cuz the QB class is good...:hmmm:

They got Clowney this year but did not get that franchise QB. (Tom Savage ain't it). So top 5 might be "acceptable" under the circumstances in order to get that QB.

Then they said something that really pissed me off when they said that any deal with New England would almost certainly include Ryan Mallet. O'brien REALLY likes him and wanted to do a draft day deal, but NE wanted too much. Now, when they inquire about AJ, it will have to involve Ryan Mallet.

It sure as hell seems like it.

last year's and this year's offseason seem contradictory

The most likely reason for the different offseason philosophies is that Hunt/Reid/Dorsey decided that they needed to stop the bleeding first and then started the normal process of building the team.

The why they needed the boost is unknown.

A boost would calm the fans and probably help bring in free agents. A Boost would also increase the confidence of the existing players on the team.

I guess i understand the concept of boost and then build but it's still frustrating as hell. It means we have no real intent on winning this year or next, maybe not even the year after that.

last year's and this year's offseason seem contradictory

The most likely reason for the different offseason philosophies is that Hunt/Reid/Dorsey decided that they needed to stop the bleeding first and then started the normal process of building the team.

The why they needed the boost is unknown.

A boost would calm the fans and probably help bring in free agents. A Boost would also increase the confidence of the existing players on the team.

I guess i understand the concept of boost and then build but it's still frustrating as hell. It means we have no real intent on winning this year or next, maybe not even the year after that.

:banghead:

Yep.

This approach is a 3 year project.

Just as a fan of football, I want the Lions to trade Suh for Andre Johnson and some other pick (I don't really give a fuck). I want to see Megatron and AJ play together, and I want to see a DL comprised of Clowney, Suh, and Watt.

Great fucking idea. Really.

Even if Smith does continue to blossom, this team has far too many holes that they haven't even acknowledged, much less begun to address, to be more than a playoff team that gets bounced.

So if we give them Avery we need to give up a 3rd as well? So I'm assuming if we don't make them take Avery we could get Johnson from them for a 4th?

from 2007 to 2012 they were 29-67.

They definitely made a conscious decision to stop the bleeding. They had to.

A lot of great points being made in here. I think what people fail to see by this approach or give kudos to is the possibility that Reid/Dorsey know Smith is not the answer and is indeed a stop gap. The possibility gives me hope they know what they're doing.

Only partly true but the thesis of your statement is false if you're trying to say thst he's fragile . AJ is no "potato chip." If you have ever seen him play, he is tough as nails and about as non-fragile as it gets and will often invite contact. Dude is a BAD ASS! I'd bet he and Steve Smith are the toughest WR's in the league. Having said that, you're right in that he misses games because of nagging injuries he gets from practice. Hamstring is the most common one he suffers from. He's pulled his quads a few times, had turf toe, as well. He very rarely misses games due to injuries sustained from his aggressive style of play.

Sounds fun. But you have to remain balanced on your roster.
The Texans didn't draft any WR's this year. Beyond AJ and Hopkins from last years draft you look at the roster and say who?
If they traded AJ they gotta get a WR. They did draft the TE from Iowa this year and still have Graham from last year who put up average TE #'s.
I suppose it depends how quickly they want to be competitive or just take time to build it their way.

Bingo! And I said as much earlier. The new staff gets a pass next season and doesnt have to do much to show improvement over last. They're "fine," under the circumstances with picking in the top 10 of draft to get the franchise QB they didnt get this year. Next year's QB class is a good one. Draft picks, rather than players, are the premium in a trade with them.

They didn't have enough cap room for either player.

It's possible they didn't like Moncrief.
