The odds of Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson sporting another team's uniform in improved in drastic fashion on Wednesday, with Johnson reportedly telling the Texans that he wants "to play for another team. The former would be the options likely scenario, with Johnson still considered one of the game's best wide receiver. Also, Rapoport reported, four teams already have expressed interest in swinging a deal for Johnson. Rapoport did not reveal the identities of those teams, though he tweeted that "some are probably pretty obvious. Despite using a Round 1 draft pick on Kelvin Benjamin, the Panthers are still lacking in skill-position talent around star quarterback Cam Newton. Johnson absolutely would help fill that quota, more than replacing the void left by departed veteran Steve Smith. The sticking point in any potential Panthers' interest would be financial though, this could be the case for most teams: Again, we find a team in dire need of a game-changer at wide receiver, particularly because former No. Cleveland also has an extra first-round draft pick next year after trading down so Buffalo could nab Sammy Watkins. Anytime a big-name player becomes available, for whatever reason, the Patriots have to be part of the discussion merely based on their past interest in such scenarios. Tom Brady survived and even thrived at times in despite a depleted receiving corps, but Johnson could be a nudge over the top for a team in Super Bowl contention. As we've seen this offseason with, for example, the Saints fitting Jairus Byrd into a tight cap situation, that outcome is possible. QBs Geno Smith and Michael Vick certainly would appreciate the boost, one that might make sense with the Jets believing they're on the cusp of a playoff breakthrough. Not all that far from the Patriots' situation -- a team that was competitive in and could use a true No. Some other sleeper teams along the lines of San Francisco, Tennessee or even always star-hungry Dallas might be among those with interest. Should the Texans actually prepare to move texans with a trade, we ought to learn the parties in the mix soon enough. Getting to that point will be extremely difficult for the Texans, however, no matter how contentious their situation with Johnson has become. Johnson has played his entire career with the Texans since being taken No. Watthe has long been one of the faces of this franchise. Shipping Johnson out of town would be a brutal setback, at least in the near future, for a Houston team that shows some elements of mimicking Kansas City's rise last season. The lack of a definitive answer at quarterback may rein in the expectations some, but a repeat of that train wreck seems unlikely. For Johnson, at least, the distance from a loss campaign to the playoffs may be too wide, even with Houston seemingly taking steps in the right direction. He was one of just two players texans the age of 30 to finish in the top in catches last season Anquan Boldin being the otheran indication that his career is closer to its end than its beginning. All his efforts for Houston have helped produce but two playoff berths, in and '12, and two playoff wins, both over Cincinnati. The drop from a campaign and divisional-round trip in to the No. Houston's first task now is to figure out what, if anything, will appease Johnson enough options bury the hatchet and return him to the fold. Would caving set a bad precedent for the franchise regarding future roster bonuses? But Johnson might deserve a little special treatment, given his trade on this trade. Any other significant steps forward in terms of fixing the roster trade will have to wait until next offseason. The rub for Johnson there is that he becomes much easier to release, in terms of the dead-money cap hit, beginning in The ongoing rift between Johnson and the Texans has shattered what is generally the NFL's quietest few weeks, post-OTAs and pre-training camps. Should Houston decide to trade its disgruntled options receiver, the resulting shock waves could alter the league landscape for the coming season.
