May we have seen Calvin Johnson’s final game in the NFL
Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reported that the
Birkett was able to get a quote from an anonymous former teammate of Calvin’s:
There has been some conversations about it, not asking me how it is. But I think the guy’s beat up. I think he’s been through enough. And I think it’s just his time. He’s made the money, got the records, but whatever. I don’t know for sure if he’s going to do it. I don’t know if he’s going to get that itch to keep going. I really don’t know.
Megatron does have one reason to stay in the pros, its his finances. According to Spotrac, Johnson has 4 years remaining on his contact that will pay him 21.358 million in 2016. With talks surrounding the possibility of a reworked deal Johnson could be using the retirement talks as a leverage point. Johnson, 30, would finish his career with has 731 receptions for 11,619 yards and 83 touchdowns if he did decided to hang up the cleats.
