Andre Johnson hinted to NFL Network's Marcus Smith on Wednesday that he plans on reporting to training camp. "Hopefully," said A.J., who skipped last month's mandatory minicamp. "We'll see what happens. Camp is three weeks away." Johnson's beef was never about money. He understandably fears a lengthy rebuild for a team that had May's No. 1 overall draft pick, but we suspect the Texans will be more competitive more quickly than Johnson believes. His "hopefully" comment suggests ending the holdout is in Johnson's plans. Currently sporting a late-fourth-round Average Draft Position, Johnson has the look of a value pick entering his age-33 season.
