Report: Texans won't release Andre Johnson unless trade market dries up

Andre Johnson's relationship with the Houston Texans has come to an untenable conclusion, but he may not be leaving town as fast as he desires.

Johnson will not be released by the Texans, unless it becomes apparent that they can't find a trade suitor, according to the Houston Chronicle's John McClain.

The 33-year-old has spent the entirety of his 12-year career with the Texans, and grew irate when he was informed that he'd have a reduced role with the franchise in 2015.

Johnson holds every major franchise receiving record and has arguably been the face of the club since its infancy.
