Not going to happen, but the right organization could make room and find a useful role for him. As always, the Patriots would make the most sense. They are simply so far beyond all other teams, including the Packers.

I might end up with wet dreams thinking about Rodgers throwing to Calvin, Jordy, Devante, Cobb, Bennett.

In the end all I would end up with would be a set of sheets needing to be washed.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Teams that could take on that 21 million cap space without any troubles, according to overthecap.com  are 49ers, Browns, Jaguars, Titans, Texans, Buccaneers, Bears, Jets.

If one of them offer a 7th round pick (or even a conditional 7th round pick) then the Lions don't necessary have to cut Johnson. And of these list, the teams that need a WR also really need a QB and aren't going to be winning until soon... with the exception of maybe the Texans.


Some other teams that might be able to take on the 21 million contract with some contract reworking... including Colts, Bengals, Packers, Raiders, Patriots, Dolphins, Cowboys... and stretching it a bit further but Panthers and Steelers.

I'm guessing the Colts, Bengals and Cowboys owners would be very willing to pull the trigger on some sort of deal that got Calvin Johnson in... and Raiders and Panthers could probably find a great spot for him in their systems. Heck the Panthers system would be like he's back in college system but with a much, much better QB.

If Detroit reinstates Johnson it'll cost them 16M in 2017 cap space. They could probably swing that by reneg. some deals' but Johnson could just retire again.

Johnson said he retired because Detroit wouldn't release him and he was sick of losing. The guy walked away from over 60M, so if he comes back money will have little to do with it, unless something bad happened financially. I cant see Detroit doing anything else but release him if he unretires.

His best chance to win is with GB or NE; so they'd be 1 and 2 in his book. All the other teams are up and down given the year. Johnson may be afraid of Rodgers regressing to late '15/ early 16 or his lack of stellar playoff play or fitting into GB's offense; he may also have a chubby to get back at Detroit 2x for refusing to let him out of an almost indentured servant's type deal [3yr 60+M].

I'd pay him 7M for 1 year, no more, he wasn't all that good and he's been out 1 year.

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
