Report: Andre Johnson would restructure contract to facilitate trade; 4 teams have inquired
Andre Johnson wants out of Houston, but not at the expense of his bank account.
However, the veteran wide receiver is reportedly willing to restructure his current deal - which once made him the richest receiver in NFL history - if it means being granted his walking papers.
On Andre Johnson: Source tells me he would restructure his contract to help a potential new team get under the salary cap. Not a pay cut tho

Rapoport adds that four teams have inquired, including the New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns and Oakland Raiders, but significant sticking points to Johnson being dealt remain.
The 32-year-old is owed $10 million in base salary next season and will cost the Texans $12 million against their cap regardless of his employer.
Johnson was a no-show at last month's mandatory minicamp and remains non-committal about his playing future after a falling out with the Texans following the team's dismal 2-14 season.
