Trade Calvin Johnson, that’s been a hot topic on sports radio and Internet message boards this week, as disgruntled Lions fans try to find new ways to fix an old problem: turning this franchise around. But the mere mention of dealing Johnson, the Lions’ No. 2 overall pick in 2007 and one of the league’s top receivers, draws a mixture of derision and dismay from his coaches and teammates. And to be clear, there’s no inclination by the Lions to explore the trade possibilities, Johnson, who is signed through 2012, actually earns less in salary ($2.58 million) this season than right guard Stephen Peterman or backup cornerback Anthony Henry and even in the final year of his contract, he’ll only make $4.7 million — about half what the Dallas Cowboys are paying for Roy Williams, whom the Lions traded last fall in the final year of his contract.

This move will put them in an even bigger hole, there will be no threat on there offense!:icon_frown:
A ridiculous amount would have to be given up, What the Cowboys gave up for Roy Williams, would actually be acceptable for Calvin Johnson. He's taking over the world if he gets out of Detroit.
Agreed....but I'd love for the pats to be able to give up the Raiders 2010 pick and a 2nd for Megatron....Put him with Moss and Welker and holy crap!
IF they were dumb enough to trade him......the bidding would start at 2 #1's Allegedly Jones called when they were on the clock in 2007 and they wanted Ware and Witten
it would be horrible to see Johnson go...... If he wants to be traded thats one thing but for the lions team to trade him is a mistake.......... we finally have what can shape up to be a good offense, some players just need the experiance..... losing our best offensive weapon will hurt...... now we need to work on our D line and some O line.
Once Stafford grow's megtron is gonna be the best WR in the NFL, and it wont be debateable. He is a guy thats capaple of 120-1,800-15. Once that duo clicks, I can see an average Johnson year 90-100 catches, 1,400-1700 yards, 12-17 TD's
this is just started by Mike Valenti on 97.1 beucase he is a NY/Boston guy he also brings up trading Miggy all the time
Since your in Michigan and know more about the chatter then us, this all sounds like some idiot fans think and posting......."Hmm r offense isnt reel gud now, so we ken traid Calvan Jonson for pix n git beder reel fast" and then hack journalist getting hold and running with it to boost there ratings/veiws? Am I right in this assumption
