Andre Johnson PONDERING Retiring, has played last snap in Indy.

[RealityIsLuck]

Welp. That makes that decision pretty easy.

 

 

[MR. Blueblood]

Best of luck in your future endeavors AJ.  Bummer that your time here with the Colts was a disappointing one.

[Defjamz26]

I think he knows he's probably going to be released and may not want to spend the end of his career as a 3rd option on some losing team that might be interested in him.

Well Ian. How about sharing where you heard he has played his last snap in Indy. He should be released but as far as I know nothing has been reported about it 

[IndyD4U]

He needs to just retire and walk away. It was obvious last year that he's lost some attributes, although I still feel you didn't utilize him properly

[lollygagger8]

They must've had the discussion with AJ. 

 

You had a great run man, and thanks for all the years we had to suffer watching you beat our CB's!

 

 

[MPStack]

Good riddance.

[MTC]

Please retire AJ. It's for the best.

 

On a side note, it was really cool to see you in a Colts uniform. Hall of fame receiver!

I hate that he wasn't as productive as he could have been if utilized better. But i enjoyed his stint in that Colts Blue. 

[SteelDragon]

That's really unfortunate for AJ, and who would have guessed it?  I thought he could have possibly put up career numbers(yes,  even at this stage in his career) playing with Luck last season. Alot of things went wrong for the Colts, and alot of careers/lives were affected by the disappointment that was last season. 

On a side note,  I hope Grigson gives up on the annual rent-a-WR projects. Groom the young guys, there's only one football to spread amongst all of that talent

[Bravo]

Well his agent has came out and said otherwise.

 

Didnt deny that Johnson was done in Indy but did deny that he's even talked about retiring.

[jbaron04]

Time to move on we gambled and lost 

[21isSuperman]

While I don't think he has much left in the tank, I think he has the ability to play better than what he showed in Indy.  I wouldn't mind seeing him go somewhere like New England, where I think they could maximize whatever he has left.  If not, then it's time to hang 'em up, be proud of an outstanding career, and wait until you get the call from Canton.

 

Also, thanks for beating up Cortland Finnegan.

[SteelCityColt]

Retirement would be at least save him the indignity of being cut, which I can't but help feel is on the cards. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Yeah it just didn't work out. We need to go younger this offseason in Free Agency.

[PrincetonTiger]

Good Luck AJ

He has been a good character guy this season. I haven't heard of him whining or complaining.

 

He is most likely a HOF player so we just show respect to a receiver that torched us many times in a Texan's uniform his whole career and tried to play a few more years here but it just didn't work out

Or Ian pulled it out of his butt.    AJ agent says he is not retiring and no mention from the Colts he has been released.  

 

It it may end up to be true but then again Ian could be just guessing and everyone will jump on it as gospel

He was referring to someone elses post that said good riddance,he was calling them out to stay classy,might have missed the quote though,but just clearing that up.

I read that as well.  I read Andre is currently preparing/working out to play next year.  Doesn't sound like it'll be with the Colts. 

[evilleseniorfan]

I think at the right price, there's a place for him on this team.  He can still "spot" and teach. 

[IrishColt22]

Good thing we drafted Dorsett last year so.

Don't think Pats will sign him (if he decides to keep playing). They've already tried the experiment with Torry Holt, Joey Galloway, Chad Johnson, and Reggie Wayne.

The "stay classy" reference was to a poster who wrote....    "good riddance".....

 

[NewColtsFan]

 

There was part of me that wanted to bring AJ back on a greatly reduced contract and have him be the team's 4th WR.      I thought as the 4th option he would've been a good fit for the team.      I don't know if that was considered,  and even if it was,   I don't know if AJ would've been happy with that.....

 

Perhaps best for everyone to part ways and let him retire.....

 

[CF4L]

Honestly all this tells me is that we should've kept Reggie for one last season because while he fell off on the field he wasn't worse than Andre was he? Plus there's the whole leadership aspect he brought to the Colts I felt was sorely lacking last season. 

 

That being said while I wasn't big on this move to begin with I have no ill will towards Andre I mean a lot of players stay longer than they should.

 

Although it seems to me everyone in the NFL is retiring this year.

Everyone in the NFL is retiring this year? That means there needs to be at least 3 more drafts.

[HungarianColtsFan]

Thank You Andre! Pity that your last season didn't pan out well, it has been an unfortunate season in many ways. 

 

Edit: IMO he's gone either way if he doesn't retire, he will be likely cut. I honestly feel for the guy, it would be interesting to see what he is capable for with Luck and a sane playbook.
