The Texans finally did the right thing and cut receiver Andre Johnson on Monday, putting him on the open market. And now that Johnson is on the open market, he's looking at four teams, according to his brother. Via Terry Blount of ESPN.com, Andre Johnson's brother has tweeted Andre's four preferred destinations: the Packers, Patriots, Colts,...

If we hadn't signed Cobb this would be a nobrainer to me.

Jordy and Andre on the outside and Cobb in the slot does sound very appealing, but that would limit Adams to snaps in 4 WR sets, and really stunt his growth, is a 1-2 year deal with Andre worth that?

The article said HE wanted to come to GB, not that Ted wanted him. Spending over 20 mil at WR with 3 guys everyone likes waiting for snaps. Don't waste the money. Get an ILB.

So Andre Johnson's brother says he has four teams he wants go to? Interesting that each of them have an very good to elite QB. I think someone is trying to amp up his fantasy stats when he picks his brother in the high rounds.

Of the four teams Johnson's brother claims, Patriots, Colts, Seahawks, and Packers, the Patriots make the most sense. Colts just released an aging Colts legend, the Seahawks focus more on rushing and the Packers have a very solid 1,2,3 already and Johnson won't want to be a 4 in Green Bay.

sign him for the veteran minimum and make him play TE. if he wants a ring, he'll do it.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

The twitter account of the brother of an aging vet - that's what they're using now?

This is the kind of veteran FA Ted likes to go after.

Released outright.

Don't think there is any interest on The PAckers end, but you never know.

Ted would definitely wait till after the frenzy is over, then if he is stall out there he would come much cheaper.

Interesting, but do you risk having to cut or IR Janis or Abby if you sign him?

I agree with the comment that this made sense had Cobb not re-signed. Even at league minimum I am not sure how this makes sense as Adams, Abby and Janis are hopefully all active this year and need snaps to develop.

Nelson, Cobb, Adams,Abbey,and Janis only make 5.
The Packers have carried 6 WR's in the past.
Again I don't think there is any interest, but would you rather have Boykin or Johnson?

Could come down to that.

Don't discount what a veteran can bring to a team of young guys.

All you have to do is what Julius Peppers brough5 last year.

NFL network is reporting Johnson and Frank Gore are both heading to Indy to talk, so this is all probably just filler.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder
