Andre Johnson ending "holdout"

Houston Texans' Andre Johnson(notes) was one of the league's top receivers last year, if not the best, and he would like to be paid more than the $5.8 million he's owed in his current contract for the coming season. So he used a little leverage and didn't bother showing up for a few Organized Team Activities.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Johnson is ending his little "holdout" today but that is likely because his agent brother Andre Mellon was promised a meeting on Friday with GM Rick Smith.

If things don't go the way Mellon likes tomorrow, don't be surprised if Johnson saves his holdout power for another period of time closer to the start of the season.
