HoustonTexans.com’s Nick Scurfield, reporting on Twitter, says that the Texans have scheduled a 1:30 PM CT press conference with Andre Johnson and that Gary Kubiak says the Texans are “awful close” to a contract extension for their All-Pro wide receiver.
John McClain of the Chronicle broke the news last night that the Texans were close with Johnson on a new contract, and that Bob McNair was rewarding him for his play on the field and his role off the field. Johnson is one of the quietest star receivers in the game, and has never rocked the boat.
SB Nation Houston will have more for you after the press conference, but it certainly appears like I should just be saying “we’ll have the contract figures for you when this is all done.”
