The Houston Texans and their former wide receiver Andre Johnson parted ways on some not-so-pleasant terms a couple of months ago.

Since signing with the Indianapolis Colts, Johnson has set the record straight that he was not out for revenge against his former team (via the Houston Chronicle).

"(Leaving the Texans) hasn’t even really set in yet. I was just talking about that with someone. Everybody thinks that I went to the Colts to try and get back at the Texans and stuff like that. That had nothing to do with it. I just went to the … place where I felt was the best fit for me and where I can have a chance to win a championship.

"It wasn’t about circling (game) dates or nothing against the Texans. I had 12 great years here. Been around some great people, built some great relationships, a lot of great friends. Houston’s always going to be my home. I have nothing bad against the Texans."

Johnson may not be about revenge at the moment, however we know he will have his game day face on when he plays his former team twice during the regular season. Aspiring to win a coveted Super Bowl, Johnson certainly made the correct choice joining up with quarterback Andrew Luck and crew. This will be Johnson’s life for a couple of more seasons while the Texans remain in quarterback befuddlement. That is revenge enough to most.
