Texans WR Andre Johnson Standoff Has League Implications

Andre Johnson, "the best player in franchise history," and the Texans may take a while [GM Rick] Smith said renegotiating with five years remaining on a contract is "not customary," and "not common." It's pretty much unheard of. And that's a problem. The challenge probably is for the Texans to revise Johnson's contract with enough money being moved forward so Johnson could be happy this season and the Texans could avoid the wrath of other teams, who would be upset at them if they tore Johnson's contract up and started anew. For those concerned about the Texans setting a bad precedent by paying Johnson more than his contract calls for, this is the precedent: If you are the best player in the league at your position, you will be paid as such.
