Andre Johnson’s time in Tennessee was short lived, but he made an impact none the less. Just his presence in the locker room among a young group of wide receivers was an invaluable asset to the team. He caught the game winning touchdown pass against Detroit this year in week 2, undoubtably his most memorable play as a Titan. He finished the season with 9 catches for 85 yards and 2 touchdowns.

As far as a replacement goes, the Titans have 2nd year man Tre McBride on the practice squad who could be brought up. McBride was on the active roster last season and provides special teams help that the Titans desperately need. Veteran receiver, Harry Douglas is another guy who could be used to fill the void. Douglas has been a healthy inactive the last 5 games.

While Titans fans were thrilled to add the veteran to the roster this season, Johnson will be remembered as a Texan. For the first 12 years of his career he feasted on the Titans secondary. While in Houston he recorded 1,062 receptions for 14,185 yards and 70 touchdowns. Those stats landed him on the Pro Bowl roster 7 times throughout his career.

Andre Johnson's retirement ends the greatest career in Texans 15 year history.

Andre Johnson left behind a legacy that cannot be questioned by anyone. There are currently only 3 receivers in the Hall of Fame who have more receiving yards than Johnson. His bust will surely be in Canton in the near future.
