    Smart move on his part. Like all NFL players, he is only one hit away from becoming a vegetable at age 50. The only way to succeed in the NFL is to make your money in 5-6 years and then get out. That way, you have the rest of your life to live relatively aware of your surroundings.

    Exactly. Get out while you still have your health. More players should follow his example.

    Especially when a championship isn't even in your sights. Perhaps this is what Sanders knew.

    Johnson produced some special highlights for sure. He also took some hits.

    Teams have reportedly attempted to lure Calvin Johnson out of retirement, but the Lions still have the rights to Megatron if he were to return. But the timing of a Johnson comeback could affect where he’d end up. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk writes Johnson could put the Lions in a tough spot by notifying the NFL he intends to come back now. Operating under the premise Megatron was retired, the Lions have barely $7MM in cap space. Florio posits a Johnson comeback could get him to free agency — and teams he may believe have a better shot at contention — since his $16MM salary would hit the Lions’ payroll and force the team to act quickly to get in line with the cap. A trade or release would get Johnson out of Detroit, something he may not mind in a comeback scenario given the comments he made this offseason. The potential Hall of Famer turns 32 in September.

    It sounds like it maybe just hype KLC. I'd be very surprised if Johnson returned. He was pretty sure he didn't want to play anymore.

    Furthermore, if the rules are written the way they sound... that's horrible for any team that had a player retire on them under contract. Seems like it hurts the team in 2 ways. Player leaving... then wanting to return when you've made all the moves to fill that roster spot.

    Can you imagine him on Pats, Packers, or Steelers?

    I bet he can. Guy played all his life wanting to be one of the greats and had to lay with the Lions for 10 yrs

    I think we would experience some domestic terrorism if Megatron came to the Packers lol
