Andre Johnson

Latest News Update About Andre Johnson: Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson is getting his off season wish, a new mega contract. John McClain of the Houston Chronicle? is reporting that the superstar wideout is close to signing a contract that "could" make him the highest paid player in the NFL at his position. The good thing is it looks like it all should be completed by the Week One deadline set by the team a couple months ago.

The Texans are close to signing Pro Bowl receiver Andre Johnson to a new contract that could make him the highest-paid player in the NFL at his position.McClain also adds that owner Bob McNair has gotten involved and is pretty optimistic himself about this being wrapped up quickly. "Owner Bob McNair said he expected to have the deal wrapped up in two weeks, but it's not going to take that long, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said Wednesday night."

There's no details about how rich the contract would be, or even if the contract would make Andre the highest paid in the league. You'd have to think thou that Johnson's deal would easily surpass the deal of Arizona Cardinals Larry Fitzgerald, that deal is worth about $10 million annually.

All I have to add is that Johnson has been a megastar at the position over the past couple seasons but he better be ready to take his game to another level. Yes, I know its hard to do more then gain 1500+ yards a season at that position but he'll have to step his game up more. If he's making $10 million plus, the fans and media are going to be all over him now, one bad season and he's not worth a dime.

Those guys down in Houston aren't used to playing under that kind of pressure, is Andre Johnson ready for it? Cause it's coming.
