Andre Johnson spent months away from the team, and ultimately decided his future is not with the Houston Texans. The 33-year-old wide receiver requested a trade and will not report to training camp after skipping offseason workouts and minicamp, NFL Network reported Thursday. Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson intends to skip the team's mandatory minicamp this week. Johnson has three years and $31.5 million in base salary left on his contract but does not want to be part of another rebuilding project. The Texans are coming off a 2-14 season.

One look at Ryan Fitzpatrick as his starting QB and the guy goes running for the door. I'm not sure they could afford him, but the Patriots have a history of trading peanuts for disgruntled veterans to see if they can wring one more good season out of them. Other than that, it seems like all the teams with big cap space are in the AFC.

Re: Texans' Andre Johnson refuses to play for Texans, demands trade
Oh I hope not, they did that for Moss too. I forget what they gave for him to but it wasn't much I believe. thank you for posting, nothing can be done but to pray Johnson doesn't go to NE.Originally posted by IlluminatusUIUC View Post -
Re: Texans' Andre Johnson refuses to play for Texans, demands trade
I wouldn't want to play for Bill Obrien either.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

They may regret not taking Sammy Watkins if they are forced to trade Andre Johnson.
And yeah, it would not be good if the Patriots managed to get their hands on Johnson.Comment

Re: Texans' Andre Johnson refuses to play for Texans, demands trade
I think the Texans call his bluff.
Johnson was a very good receiver, but is past his prime.
No team is going to give the Texans anything of value for him, so why should the Texans try to trade him for next to nothing?
Johnson will have to pay about $18 Mill back to the Texans if he refuses to play this year.Comment

Re: Texans' Andre Johnson refuses to play for Texans, demands trade
That would give the Texans way too much dead cap money. They would need alot for him. Not going to happen

Re: Texans' Andre Johnson refuses to play for Texans, demands trade
If he gets dealt, I doubt its inside the AFC.
Though if you're the Browns and you know Gordon is basically done, why not trade a couple of high picks for Johnson? Obviously you try and keep both 1st rounders but trading a 2nd and 3rd isn't such a bad idea when you have two potential top ten picks in your back pocket.COMING SOON...

If he goes to the right team, he could do for them what Boldin did for Baltimore.
Anybody know exactly how much bonus money gets pushed forward if he moves?YardRat Wall of Fame

Except for the one major difference; that was a trade with the Raiders. I really don't think anymore needs to be said.Originally posted by Wagon Circler View PostOver thinking, over analyzing, separates the body from the mind.Comment

I know exactly what Fitzpatrick is. And am still pining to have him over EJ Manuel. Apparently you weren't aware that he has a noodle arm and Johnson is a #1 WR who doesn't want to finish his career catching 8 yard passes.Comment
