Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson has four years left on the six-year, $60 Million extension, including $15 Million guaranteed, he signed in 2007. Last week, Johnson took notice of the contract Brandon Marshall got from Miami, four-years, $47.5 Million, including $24.5 Million guaranteed. Marshall's contract was negotiated by Houston agent Kennard McGuire, who's been on a roll that began with New England's Vince Wilfork (five years, $40 Million, $25 Million guaranteed) and Green Bay's Ryan Pickett (four years, $28 Million, $14 Million guaranteed). "Since Brandon signed that big contract, I've been getting a lot of text messages and phone calls," Johnson said. "Everybody's like, 'Hey, what are you going to do?' I can't worry about that. All I can do is to talk to people (general manager Rick Smith) upstairs. If it works out, it works out. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Anything's possible, though. I think it depends on the way you go about it. A lot of guys say harsh things in the media, and sometimes that takes them out of position. I think if you go about it in a respectable way, it can be done. It's important to me. It's not something out of the norm. It's just part of the business." Source: Houston Chronicle
Refreshing to hear someone say that. 4 years is a long time though so who knows how happy he'll be in a few years..
