Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson missed Monday’s start of organized team activities because he is unhappy with his contract.

Johnson has five years remaining on his contract and will make a base salary of $5.8 million in 2010.

The OTAs are not mandatory like the June minicamp.

The Texans’ policy is to not talk about contracts with players who are not participating in team drills.

Texans general manager Rick Smith said he has been in contact with the Pro Bowl receiver and plans to meet with him at some point.

Two years ago, Johnson reworked his contract that was an eight-year deal worth $60 million that included a $15 million signing bonus. He is represented by his uncle, Andre Melton. 

Johnson has been selected to the Pro Bowl four times in his seven NFL seasons. He has caught 216 passes for 3,144 yards and 17 touchdowns the past two seasons.
