It seems Andre Johnson has seen the light. After clamoring all offseason and training camp for a trade to a contender, Johnson now seems content with staying with Houston.
He even hinted at taking a paycut of his $10.5 million guaranteed deal.
“Nobody wants to hear that,” said Johnson, when asked if he’s willing to reduce his pay, per The Chronicle’s Brian T. Smith. “But it’s the nature of the business. I’ve seen it happen, heard it happen, had it happen to friends of mine. I understand that.”
Johnson’s uncle and longtime advisor, Andre Melton, said the wideout, would rework his contract if necessary.
“We understand it’s a business and we’re willing to deal with that,” Melton said. “And Andre doesn’t mind having a pay cut.”
