Which NFL teams should give Andre Johnson a shot at playing in 2016? 

The Indianapolis Colts have announced that they have released wide receiver Andre Johnson after one season. He should find plenty of teams interested to see if he can help in 2016. The future Hall of Famer has put up some great numbers during his career despite not always having good talent around him.

In 185 regular season games, Johnson has 1,717 receptions for 14,100 receiving yards with 68 touchdowns. He has averaged 76.2 receiving yards per game over his career. Johnson has proven to be quite durable, missing just 27 games in his 13 NFL seasons and appearing in at least 13 games in all but two seasons.

He is no longer an elite receiver but he can still be productive in the right situation. Most importantly, whoever signs him will most likely be getting a motivated Johnson who wants to prove that he is not washed up. His consistency should be appealing to many teams even though he is starting to show his age at 34 years old.

At this stage in his career, Andre Johnson will want to go to a team that will give a chance to win a Super Bowl. That would be the crowning achievement of his career and would all but ensure his bust will wind up in Canton. Which five teams could give him that opportunity?
