Report: Andre Johnson will be released if Texans can’t find trade partner

[jdpanther5]

Whether cut or traded, the Texans will be on the hook for $7,319,583 of Andre's cap hit; which can be spread over two years via a June 1 cut.

If traded, his new team would incur the following cap hits over the next two seasons:

2015: $11.5m

2016: $12m

Idk if it will be AJ or not, but expect the Panthers to go hard after a FA WR and OT earlier in the process then normal. They have to get Cam serious help on offense and need to spend some serious cash as well.

yes AJ would be nice....but he is older...I think we should make a cheaper move and take the flier on Cpat out in Minny.....explosive kid and he is very bright

He will chase a ring with a higher profile team. Seahawks Packers or Pats.

You didn't hear? The Panthers are considered a winning team now according to the huddle.

And they have him linked to carolina as a suiter

It's possible his agent looks at our team and realizes we're a couple playmakers away from a legit team since the defense is for real.   Even with Shula calling plays (gasp) we can do some damage.  He'll probably have a larger role here too as a #1, because KB is not #1 material just yet.  

 

Sign him, draft a WR in the 1st/2nd still, sign Ginn or Jacoby and go in with a core of AJ/KB/draft pick/Philly/Ginn or Jones.  Guess we're stuck with Cotchery as well.

Cotchery can be a 4th WR,

How the heck does that coach tell Andre that he won't be starting... Pure idiocy

In fairness, it's easier to claim another team as idiots from the outside looking in due to name recognition. There are many, many people out there who to this day think we are stupid for releasing Smitty as if he was going to put up huge numbers here.

I admittedly don't watch a lot of Texans games, but I'm sure their AJ situation was/is similar to our SS situation.

Wow, reading the story, he was done dirty, worse than Smith?
