The Facts:
Johnson is not on board with another Texans rebuild. The veteran WR said on Tuesday he’s highly frustrated with the state of a franchise that went 2-14 last season. Johnson doesn’t plan to attend OTAs or an upcoming mandatory camp and is uncertain whether he wants to remain a Texan this year. “Is this still the place for me?” Johnson asked.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Johnson, 32, is entering his 12th season with the Texans. The No. 3 overall pick of the 2003 NFL draft is the lone remaining athlete from the franchise’s expansion era. He’s been through Dom Capers, David Carr, Gary Kubiak and Matt Schaub. After watching the Texans fall apart in 2013, posting the league’s worst record, the seven-time Pro Bowler said he and the only team he’s ever played for are clearly at different stages. “Nobody’s been here as long as I have. You just kind of look at things; I’ve been thinking about things this offseason,” Johnson said. “And I just kind of wonder sometimes, ‘Is this still the place for me?’” Johnson, who leads the Texans in all-time receptions (927), receiving yards (12,261) and receiving touchdowns (61), missed last week’s first voluntary workout with new Texans coach Bill O’Brien. ... Johnson said he keeps in contact with the Texans, talking with the club at least once every other week. He also made it clear he hasn’t requested a trade and isn’t concerned with his contract. “I’m just taking some time, thinking about some things,” Johnson said. “You know, when I make my decision I’ll make my decision and go from there.” Fantasy football owners shouldn’t panic over some late-spring frustration. But some concern over the team’s QB situation might be in order.
