Andre Johnson is a Colt.

[RockThatBlue]

Best line I heard this morning "if the Colts sign Johnson he stands a good chance to get his first career win in Indianapolis"

[GoColts8818]

yup. bad number bad

pollard wore it and he did just fine.

[CR91]

pollard wore it and he did just fine.

 

I said after pollard left

[James]

Paraphrasing now, AJ said he "loves watching TY play, looking forward to playing with him."

They are gonna tear it up!

[chrisfarley]

Rick Venturi, are you serious? Andre Johnson "possibly playing like a number 2 receiver?" What a joke. Dude put up 85, 936, 3 with putrid QBs. He's going to be out possession receiver, so it doesn't matter if he's showed down a bit.

what did rick venturi say?

[jtexan]

Texan fan here, y'all are getting one of the all time "good guys" in Andre Johnson. Hate to see him go, but at least he gets a chance to play with a premiere QB. I can't believe I'm saying this, but  I'll be rooting for Indy if we're out of it at the end of the season. Also, I think Texans/Colts is on the verge of becoming one of the premiere rivalries in the NFL for years to come and I think the NFL wants it considering the whole JJ vs. Luck angle. I'd almost bet that we play each other on Sunday night next year and many many more.

Too much money

Hey let's create a thread so everyone knows you were dead on right. Let's ask the mods to pin it in place of the TR thread.

I bow down to you almighty guesser of numbers!

Very good signing. If this is it then that's fine, but I would love to try to finish it off with knighton. Andre will make us competitive Vs the Pats for sure. Hopefully in 3 years that Andre is here, we win a SB. So he gets one and because we have a much better chance with him here.

[jvan1973]

Too much money

no, no it isn't

[masterlock]

He doesn't have to be the Andre of 10 years ago.  If he can be the Reggie Wayne of 3-4 years ago, I'd be happy.

*IF* he can stay healthy, then that won't even be a concern. This guy is a monster, even at 32 yrs old (or 33?).

Tweet from NFL Network:

"If I'm Donte Moncrief, I'm following Andre Johnson to the training table, to the bathroom... I'm following him everywhere!" -@LT_21 #Colts

3:36pm - 11 Mar 15

Both MocMoncrief and Carter need to stick to Johnsons side!!! Learn...learn...learn and apply!!!

Andre will be fine, he's big bodied and he is smart...injuries I don't think will be the norm for this guy.

Agreed

[pacolts56]

what did rick venturi say?

He said "I was 2-187 as an NFL coach, you should change the radio station and listen to crop reports"

[masterlock]

Wilfork & Rolle would be pretty tight.

I'd like to see them sign Wilfork to a 3-yr deal.

[indyagent17]

I think he is a huge piece, We have a nice 1-2 punch with Hilton and Johnson. Moncrief is a big target as well with speed he will be better this year!

 

I still like Griff in the slot, he is fearless and simply catches balls for first downs

[esmort]

Hoping they restructure Vontae to free up some more cap space for Knighton, Wilfork, or Fairley. 

 

I have not seen an accurate current cap number yet, but I would think they should have the cap space to be able to sign those guys without needing to restructure anyone. 

[Narcosys]

Reading comments on Twitter from all these Patriot "fans" is hilarious.

What are they saying?

[HarryTheCat]

Hoping they restructure Vontae to free up some more cap space for Knighton, Wilfork, or Fairley. 

After the season that Vontae had his contract is starting to look like a bargain. 

[JColts72]

heres hoping he has better luck with the number then baskett and DHB

Here's hoping that he produces like Roger Carr #81. Luck to Johnson could be the new Jones to Carr. We would all like those production results.

Classy post and welcome to the board. I know this must suck for you guys.

Roger Carr was great wearing #81 and Billy Newsome was on the Super Bowl Colts squad in 1970.

I'll bet that TY popped the cork on a bottle of Dom when he got the news.  DBs around the league now have somebody else to think about. Now think about the defensive nightmare that the Colts present with Fleener, Allen, AJ, TY and Gore, all on the field at the same time with Luck's finger on the trigger. Can't wait to see it!

[Luthais]

Welcome Andre.

[NBColtsFanatic]

I just went to the Texans message boards. Nothing really to comment on other than this: I have a newfound appreciation for Nadine, her IT team, & how easy the Colts Forum is to navigate around. Enough said.

I agree. Anything related to the Colts and the internet is the best in the league. Colts forums, social media, website etc.

[Grigs build the lines plz.]

good. now lets shift the focus to some pot roast

This money could have been put toward Pot Roast or some other elite lineman but I won't complain

about this pickup as long as he produces.

Steve Andress ‏@ColtsReporter 33s33 seconds ago

Andre Johnson said he was able to talk to Edge and Reggie Wayne, and they "had nothing but great things to say about the organization."

Guess Reggie is still a class act. he had a great opportunity to get even if he was upset with the Colts

It's borderline top 10 WR receiver money. Now, unless you think he's a top 10 wr.....which of course he no longer is.

[jvan1973]

yeah really

7 million year is not too much. The chargers offered more

[needanoline63]

Great now let's do some damage and sign some run stoppers for Gods sake

[RockThatBlue]

yeah really

Not really.

Its less than almost what everybody thought he would get

it's not top ten wr money

Beautiful Day to be a fan

[chrisfarley]

who's next, Starks, Fairly, another DE somewhere

[Kenny Rogers Alderman]

Sad day in in H-Town, Happy for Dre. The Best WR ever . Trust me on this Indy he still has a lot  left in the tank not to mention a great route  runner and blocker. He still  can  go deep, and now for the first in his   pro career he has a Quarterback. .Here is    something you Colts fans are going the with Mr. Johnson a man of Honor, Generosity and Accountability . And on Sundays have fun.  Its going to be weird watching Dre as a Colt this season especially when we play seven months.

[Douzer]

It's a great day to be a Colts fan!
