Hall of Fame

Key words for Johnson "reduced role." Not pay cut.
The Texans wanted Johnson, who will turn 34 in July and will be a Hall of Fame candidate when his career is over, to take a reduced role next season, and he declined, according to people familiar with the situation, who also disclosed the two sides never discussed his contract.
Rather than accept the reduced role, Johnson asked to be traded or cut.
