Only to a 1-day contract so he can retire a Texan. Dre now is about the equivalent to Eric Moulds when the Texans signed him.
Eric Moulds only caught one TD in his season here.
Andre is in great shape and can play another two or three years at a high level. He could put up 600-800 receiving yards and 5-8 TDs even in a reduced role. He still has great hands and is a possession receiver going on 35 years old.
He was barely targeted most of the season with the Colts. He had like 6 receptions for 77 receiving yards and 2 TDs against the Texans in his visit to Houston on Thursday Night Football. He showed me he still has something left in the tank in that one game.
I'd be open to a cheap one or two-year deal for him. In a #4 WR role if he were open to it. He could even play some #2 WR at times. If we let some young guys develop slowly.
Andre wouldn't be any worse than Nate Washington, if he became a Texan again in 2016. But at any rate, I wish him the best wherever he goes.
I still want to draft a wide receiver in this draft...
Personally, I hope Andre Johnson and Arian Foster both sign cheap one or two-year deals with the Dallas Cowboys. What an aging, injury-prone offense it would be. But if Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, Jason Witten, Andre Johnson and Arian Foster stay healthy (big if for sure) that could be one heck of an aging offense with that stout O-Line.
I say that because it's more likely than Andre coming back to H-Town. I'd rather he go to the next closest place. If not Dallas then New Orleans. I don't want to see Andre Johnson playing with the Patriots in 2016. We will end up facing them in the AFC Championship Game! With the winner going to Super Bowl 51 here in NRG Stadium!
No way would I feel good if Andre Johnson is playing, and winning Super Bowl 51 at NRG Stadium for another team, especially the Patriots. It was bad enough having to see Gary Kubiak, Wade Phillips and Owen Daniels winning that Super Bowl 50 ring this past year. It would feel twice as tough if he's doing it inside our own stadium - you know, the one he made many big plays on every other Sunday.
It's just bittersweet is all. But it hurts at the same time.
The Texans have a good team. I love our free agent signings thus far, but there is still a lot more work that has to be done this off-season.
I'm ready for the 2016 season to start. I'd bring Andre back in a heart beat. I've got a bad feeling he's going to come back to haunt us if we don't sign him, and watch him beat us in a big playoff game, if we allow him to sign a cheap one or two-year deal with the Patriots.
Hopefully Andre Johnson won't do us dirty like that...
But then again he signed with the Colts last year.
Andre Johnson will be at the Rockets versus Grizzlies game tonight. Our fans should be begging him to come back here. Show a franchise icon that we still love him and want him here!!!!!! This is still a great city that Andre calls home. Finish off your final two or three years where it means the most.
