Got this from someone close to 80: "Dre on owners private jet headed to Indy. He called Gore & they agreed both to Indy. Philly wanted both"

If that info holds up, it makes Indy the favorite in the AFC in my opinion… provided they draft well on defensive side of the ball.

Theย Texans officially parted ways with Jonson on Monday in a move that freed up $8.825 million in cap space.
Johnson, 33, will be a fascinating free agent to watch given that he represents the best available receiver and is reportedly looking to play for a contender next year.
In 2014,ย Johnson has caught 85ย passes for 936 yards receiving and threeย ย touchdowns over the course of 15 games. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 40ย receiver out of 110 qualifying players.
