Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals are a team that are knocking on the door of greatness after appearing in the NFC Championship game last season. Andre Johnson could help them knock that door down and help them when the franchise’s first Super Bowl in Arizona. Johnson wouldn’t have to be the main receiver in Arizona thanks to Larry Fitzgerald. While Johnson is used to being the primary receiver, he would most likely be more than happy to give up that role if it gets him closer to a Super Bowl.

Johnson would give the Cardinals an extremely reliable third down option. Texans fans can attest to how Johnson would make sure to get the yardage necessary to get the first down. His presence would give the Cardinals two reliable possession receivers and might even allow Fitzgerald to run more deep routes.

Andre Johnson would be a great mentor to John Brown and Michael Floyd. With Floyd, Brown, Fitzgerald, and Johnson, the Cardinals would be a nightmare for any secondary to have to cover. Johnson would likely have to take less to go to Arizona because they have some more pressing issues. But Arizona would be a fantastic fit for Johnson should he be willing to take a pay cut.
