Since he is potentially on the trading block if you were JR would you trade for him? I know there are some salary cap issues to deal with and I believe Johnson would have to agree to a pay cut prior to being traded but just for fun what would you give up if anything for a 33 yr old top tier(or former top tier) WR. Call me crazy but I would trade Rueben Randle and a 4th round pick for him. As much as I love RR's potential I think what Andre Johnson can bring for 2 years is worth more.I think the Texans a team in rebuilding mode would jump at this deal. What do you guys think would you want Andre Johnson or does the cost and his age make this a deal that you would stay away from?
Johnson would be a great with big blue. We are, in my opinion, in a bit of a win-now mode - coughlin is 68, eli is 33, this era of Giants football could close relatively quickly if we have a bad season, so why not make a run at an impact receiver with 2-3 years left of good football. Imagine a receiving core of Johnson, Beckham Jr., Cruz, Manningham, Jernigan. Would be fun to think about.
Doubt we do it though.

Look into the situation and if you know the Giants at all you know that is not happening. Out of all of our weaknesses you want to give away valuable assets for a WR? What are you smoking?
Dude ..this is just for fun...no one said they would do it.
Nowhere did I see that you said it was for fun as for the part that you said that "no one said they would do it," you said you would do that.
That's silly imv
You trade young players/picks for veterans when you are a piece or two away from legitimately contending. The 2014 Giants are not. They are rebuilding. The only exception I could see would be if an experienced lineman was available since protecting the investment in Eli is critical. WR is not a position we should be trying to bring in veterans with big contracts.

regardless of his age. He'll go a few more years, and even in decline will more than likely be more valuable than Randle.

Johnson is an old 33 imo
I'd have to know what AJ would cost. He's just too old in NFL terms and you have to spread your team's cap money around.
It is also difficult to see that RR will reach his current level. Johnson also is the type of WR that fights for every catch and is tough as nails.
Giant offense would become immediately stronger.

Its just a hypothetical post guys...we all know the giants don't do stuff like this.
Don't sleep on Julian Talley either as a darkhorse to make the team as the 5th or 6th wr. I really like him.
While Johnson wasn't vintage from last year he was still a top 5 receiver in the league and was a dominating force with a crappy qb when he was on the field.
There were a number of people, myself included who thought trading a 7th for a talented but limited (speed, coverage) MLB who at the time hadn't been healthy or shown to stay healthy in a long time in a losing season was a bad move. It worked out very well for the Giants, until Beason got injured. I assume Beason will come back healthy again and play great like he did last year.
ok....
ok....
The ends justify the means. If a team won a superbowl with Andre Johnson playing a part in that no one would doubt the decision.
ok....
No. Why would you think that RR right now is not or will not be better than AJ this year or next. I think this year in this offense Randle will be very good.
That's the most likely scenario (Johnson to Pats for a pick) considering the relationship between BOB and Little Bill
Realistically, I don't think Rick Smith would accept Jerry's offer of a conditional 7th and Cooper Taylor
