The Facts:
The "feeling around the league" is that the Houston Texans will not try to trade Johnson according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In case you missed it, Johnson recently
expressed displeasure with the fact that the Texans are once again in rebuilding mode. Incoming HC Bill O'Brien is being
careful not to upset Johnson. According to the Redzone.org, O'Brien is likely pointing to Houston's revamped defense and what should be a much-improved run game with Arian Foster back. The coach might also note the Texans play in the NFL's worst division and can be competitive. But the issues at quarterback are obvious and appear to be at the root of Johnson's complaints. Still, as NFL.com recently noted, even if the Texans were inclined to field offers for the NFL's second-most productive wide receiver over the past two seasons, salary cap repercussions still present a formidable hurdle. A Johnson trade would leave $11.96 million in dead money against the Texans' 2014 cap. Perhaps just as prohibitive, a prospective suitor would need the space to absorb Johnson's monstrous contract.
