I'm sure some contender will be happy to acquire him. We'll see if anything actually gets done.

He's going to be 33 this year. He's a possession WR at this point. If Gordon gets suspended, maybe the Browns will overpay for him.

Plenty of value in an older receiver, if they're an all-time great. Which Andre is. I think he's still worth a WR-needy contender coughing up a 3rd or so.

Nope. We roll with what we got. Old man Johnson ain't for us
and the Pats would get a 3rd round comp pick for acquiring him.
any of you who wouldn't want Johnson on this team (if it were possible) just have not watched the guy play.

I'd want him for a 3rd. Especially since the steelers seem to be using their 3rd picks on backup QBs and small RBs.
I can't see Houston trading him for less than a 1 or getting a good WR in return. Houston did not draft a WR or bring in a significant free agent. That means their top 3 are Johnson, DeAndre Hopkins, and Keshawn Martin or Devier Posey.
Hopkins was OK last year but not special. He didn't prove he's a star that would allow them to deal Johnson. Martin and Posey combined for 37 catches for 408 yards.
They drafted Tom Savage as their future QB. O'Brien started true freshman QB Hackenberg last year. I expect him to do the same with Savage. You don't trade away your best WR when breaking in a new QB, unless you get offered something crazy like the colts gave for Richardson.

I've seen Johnson play, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to pay a steep price for him at this point. With all the hamstring issues he's had over the years plus his diminishing speed and quickness, he could be one of those guys whose production just dropped off a cliff.
I agree, we could be picking up the next sweat suit model. Just a thing to keep in mind we have lots of wide outs available. Picking up aging names who were at the end of their nfl years was what the coaches did when the team was known as the lovable loosers. I would rather pick up a rookie from a team that puts one on the practice squad than an over the hill guy now.
He started 16 games the last two seasons and had over 100 receptions both years....
So he started 1/2 of the games played in the last two years and was productive then, he is a year older now and likely not getting better as he ages. I think the odds are more in line with him being able to play less rather than more.
