The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... According to NBC4 in Washington's Dianna Marie Russini, Johnson will be getting cut today.

Diehards Line: The Texans, who recently informed Johnson he'd play a reduced role if he remained with the team this year, asked out. The Texans hoped to trade him, but Johnson, 33, has two years and $21.5 million left on his contract, making it difficult to deal him. But once release, he's likely to draw considerable interest. He might be old but he's far from dead. Last season he caught 85 passes for 936 yards and three touchdowns. There will be no shortage of suitors once he's available.
