Because when you trade for him, that's the contract you get?

 

You realize they are trying to trade him, right?

 

Sure, but a trade is not likely.  The Texans don't want to carry his $16 million cap figure into next season, or the $14.7 million cap hit in 2016 for a guy that they don't even plan to start. That makes it almost a surety that they will cut him, and no GM in his right mind is going to pay that kind of money for the services of a 34 year old receiver (I don't care who the receiver is).

Rotoworld:

 

The Miami Herald reports the Dolphins have "(internally discussed)" free agent Cecil Shorts.

Cleaning house at receiver, the Dolphins would be buying low on a player who appeared on the verge of exploding in 2012. Per reporter Barry Jackson, the Dolphins like what Shorts brings after the catch. According to Pro Football Focus, Shorts averaged 5.1 yards after the catch in 2014, a nice number. Recently released Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson offered nothing after the catch.

I hope Hardy doesn't bow down to this joke of a league. I've accepted he won't be playing with us, but he shouldn't have to accept a damn thing considering he was only supposed to be put on the list until his case came to a resolution.

Well, it came to a resolution and they are still dicking him around and it's not right.

This fuging league is so lame.

You also understand that the dissension between he and the Texans is about money, right?

So he's gonna hit free agency and all of a sudden become REASONABLE about money? When he wasn't before?

It may be about money on the Texans' part, but not Johnson's part. For him it's all about feeling disrespected due to their vision for him in a reduced role. I don't know where you're getting this from. Johnson wanted to leave last off-season to go play for a contender. He has arguably been unhappy for the last couple of years. I have followed the guy, and money was never a big issue because he basically got a deal that reflected his value when it was time for his big payday. Hell, he even restructured three straight years just to make cap space for his team.

If you don't believe me, then perhaps you'll believe the ESPN writer for the Texans who literally says the break up on Johnson's part is not about the money. They never argued over his contract. Johnson is a reasonable and realistic guy that wants to play for a contender.

Edit: And don't get me wrong, Johnson may get paid. That depends on the team. But that's not going to be the driving force. He wants a championship.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
