Just 1 season prior he put up 1400 yards, could it be who was throwing him the ball, cause all i know is he looked damn good playing with Mallet and Keenum last season.

7-time pro bowl receiver rips former team
Not only has Andre Johnson entered the free agent market, but he has done so in epic fashion.
Shortly after being cut by the Houston Texans Johnson made public comments about the treatment he felt he received from the team.
"The funny thing is that when (a player) asks to be traded or something, people get on you about honoring your contract. But when youve done a lot for an organization and they feel like you get old, then they dont have to honor their contract. I dont get where they come up with this honoring your contract when youre very very productive and you are doing great things for them. I dont know a lot of guys in the league that catch 85 balls and have almost 1,000 yards that thats a down year for them. But you have a year like that and then its well your old, we want to reduce your role, and all this stuff I dont get that. But thats the nature of the business. Like I said, it doesnt make sense. It doesnt make sense to a lot of people. Thats just the way it is."
The comments make it clear Johnson could very well be motivated by revenge come next season, making the possibility of him signing with teams like Indianapolis, Tennessee or Jacksonville very enticing for both Johnson and NFL fans.

It was a generality, not a specific statement. The guy is on the wrong side of 30. How many games has he gone into the locker to not return? That's still considered a game played, but it's also the reality of what is to come.

That was comments he made before he was released and they were posted here before he was released. Whoever you linked is making stuff up to get headlines. He also said, at the same time, that he had no ill feelings towards the Texans

And you're right, he's not angry...
But he did say this...
Which seems to leave out TEN and JAX.
yeah I had posted it right before you, but I got it from Steph Stradley's retweet and she had a pic of convo so I took a pic of that... your link to twitlonger was better. And yeah he's due to play with a great QB

I guess I have gotten into the acceptance mode(well have no choice)
He will go into the Hall as a Texan. Amazing enough when considering the QBs he played with... I say go chase your ring AJ, you paid your dues. I wish it was with the Texans but not going to happen. Maybe one day he will sign the one day contract and retire as a Texan,but for now the Texans need that salary cap savings to build.
The one I am focusing on is JJ.. He needs help on the defense. He hides so many deficiencies that the Texans need to close that gap and get him some help

I think he deserves it, one who is voted in and not selected as an alternate or injury replacement

I totally expect him to go to Denver to play under Kubiak in an offense he knows and get balls thrown to him by Peyton Manning.
Farewell Dre, gonna miss you man! I will never forgot watching you blow up a line backer, and two DB's and plowing your way backwards into the end zone in Arizone years ago in person, in your prime you were unstoppable.
I wish Houston could have given you a couple more years of decent QB play over your career here. I wish Fat Albert wouldn't have single handedly destroyed your chances at a SB in a Texans uniform, had Shaub not had his foot mangled by Fat Ass the SB was yours to win at the height of your ability.
I remember watching games, and the only thing that made them worth watching was thinking you were gonna get the ball.
Your jersey is the last one I will probably ever buy, I will have to wait years to wear it again, if you make it to the HOF I hope you will accept the award as a Texan regardless of whatever has taken place the last two years.
I wished last years episode wouldn't have gone down like it did, but you are still one of my all time favorites, I wish you luck in everything you do except when you play the Texans. I wish the NFL made it possible for teams to keep the truly great players they draft while being able to balance the cap. Goodbye #80.

Players don't go into the HOF representing any one ballclub of note. No caps, no helmets, no jerseys. Matter of fact the bust of them has each team they played for listed on it. In chronological order. Dre will technically go in as a Texan, and he'll go in as a member of whatever team he plays for next year.
In terms of his speech I feel confidant the Texans having drafted him and made him a multi-millionaire, the fact that he calls Houston his second home, the time that will have passed, and the fact that he's a reasonable grown-up will see him look back on his time as a Texan with fond remembrance. That will be a hell of a day. For him and for Texan fans.

Got JJ?
Don't think there are as many options to replace jjo as there are wr2. Getting rid of JJO may be the right move but I don't know. Rookie corners are a little more of a liability than rookie wr2s aren't they?
Yeah and JJo is in the last year of his contract so not as big a benefit in cutting him. Continuity in the secondary is as huge as it is on the OL

I just hope it's a looooong time before anyone else wears #80 for this team again, as in never.

I haven't had time today to read through this thread, so I'll just paste what I wrote on my Facebook page:
The photo below occurred on my birthday in 2010. Before the last play of the game in overtime, Matt Schaub told Andre Johnson, "Go up and get it. You're the best receiver in the league." The result was another game saved by Andre and a photo reminiscent of Muhammad Ali over Sonny Liston. That's the type of will that Andre put on the field for Texans fans every game. His passion was channeled into his work ethic and winning, and winning was channeled into his humility and class. Anyone who claims to be disillusioned with the egos and the business side of professional sports can look to Andre as the ideal character for elite athletes.
Thank you to Andre Johnson for giving Houston fans something to be proud of after six years without a football team, and during the twelve years of an inconsistent one. He may not have gotten the ring he deserved, but he's earned infinite more respect than most who wear one.

Great post man! Repped!

Lol, nah. Just like fan's that are sure to be wearing AJ #80 jerseys at NGR for years to come I see nothing wrong with honoring a guy that's been the face of the Texans for years. If nothing else, I will be inclined to change the "Got AJ? message below my avatar, though.

The only two Texans jerseys I own with numbers on the back have #80 on it. This is the exact reason I don't like to own jerseys with numbers attached. I figured AJ was the exception to the rule.
Yes! He always did have a good connect with Case for some reason. Those 2 just seemed to click.

Without question the greatest Texans player in franchise history.
Will be intrigued what kind of deal he gets, if/when he gets picked up.

I would not be surprised to see him in Denver. He seemed unhappy from the moment Kubiak was fired.
yes, but it wasn't because Kubiak got fired... it was going thru yet another 2-14 season. And he knew what was coming because of his contract
That offense in Denver will look quite a bit different with Peyton Manning under center .... Sure , they'll run the ball a lot & play action but you wont be seeing Manning on bootlegs very often. Kubiak will have to change his offense to fit Manning's skills / abilities.

If Andre winds up in Denver he will be the third option in the passing game. I will even go further to say that he will be the first option in the first game only so that Kubiak can make an asinine school-yard point.

Funny how no one is clamoring for the Myers thread to be moved...
Maybe because it fell off the radar days ago.
Technically none of the cut players, free agents no longer under contract with the Texans, or potential signings (Hoyer) should have a thread in this section.
But hey, I guess rules are made to be broken ...

It's likely Kubiak won't be running his offense for a couple of years. He made a statement indicating that he'll let Manning do his thing. I can see Andre ending up in Atlanta where Kyle Shanahan is installing it.

Contenders with good quarterbacks? That's weird.
Sure he could get a job there.
Does Andre consider Miami a contender ? I dunno, but with it bing his hometown that place is much more likely than ATL IMO.
