SB Nation's Battle Red Blog has weighed in on the report that WR Andre Johnson skipped Texans OTAs in protest of his contract. In short, BRB feels that there's nothing to see here.
Although I'm sure you'll read/hear that this is somehow a sign of the apocalypse, I wouldn't get too revved up about it. The Texans got ahead of the curve when they made the wise decision to re-do 'Dre's contract back in March of 2007. There's been a significant increase in guaranteed money for star wideouts since then, culminating with Brandon Marshall's recent deal with the Dolphins. Andre Johnson is the best wide receiver in football, and he wants to be paid as such. Nothing to see here, folks.
BRB makes a good point here. They were proactive in getting a deal done with Johnson the first time so it's possible they could do the same this time.
It will be difficult to do for both sides but, if BRB is right, it should get done in a reasonable time frame.
