The Ravens.

Baltimore has plenty of pass-catchers, but they don’t seem to be thrilled with the group as a whole. With former Texans coach Gary Kubiak now coordinating the Baltimore offense, Kubiak could be making the case for making the move. But they’d probably have to be willing to ship someone like Torrey Smith to Houston in order to get Johnson — and that probably wouldn’t be a good idea.

Agreed if the price was Torrey.

I wouldn't shop Torrey for AJ; I'd prefer to have both (though we cannot afford).

[ForceEight]

Wouldn't ship Torrey either, but they can have Jones

That is one stupid suggestion by whoever wrote it. They shouldn't be writing about football.

Why? They are looking at the teams that would like AJ and what it would take to get him.

They have run out of things to write about.

Torry for AJ and his fat contract?

If Torry Smith broke a leg and Steve Smith gets hooked on heroin and Pita goes down again...then yea....maybe I can see it.

 

What they did was see AJ....then thought Kubiak....then a made up bullshit first sentence about the Ravens not being happy with the receivers they have....and then they end with saying their idea wouldn't be a good idea....so this won't happen.

Sorry you can't see through this bs.

The Ravens were one of the teams AJ was associated with. So he was trying to figure out what it would take. He did that with all the teams he was associated with. Seems reasonable to me.

This kind of crap always gets written in the summer lull before camps start.

Incase you didnt see the AJ message that he is up to be traded, but will not take a penny less then his current contract..

 

Leave his ass in Texas, Fitzpatrick will hang him out to dry

[thesteelhurtin]

Lmao one of the Steelers sites did something similar to this saying trade Worilds, Wheaton, and a second for a 33 year old WR who as crave said wont take a penny less.

[ForceEight]

This might foil all those plans:

 

 

 

Sometimes lost in the fervor over a player asking for a trade is the reality that the team has to go along with that idea.

Thus, it doesn’t appear the Texans are inclined to move disgruntled wide receiver Andre Johnson just because he wants to.

According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans don’t plan to move Johnson for several reasons, all of which are better for them than him.

[papasmurfbell]

I always look at that as ego with the team. If a player demands an out find a trade and ship him. It doesn't have to be to a place the player likes. Just get the best return on investment. I look at Cincy who has had this issue so many times. It only worked out on th ePalmer case.

[GrubberRaven]

AJ is a great talent but injury prone...pass.

[oldno82]

AJ is a great talent but injury prone...pass.

Plus we don't need another aging receiver.

[tsylvester]

He is now ready to re-do his contract if it helps in trade talks.... Four teams interested, did not hear who they are.....
