Allen Park — It’s been nearly two years since Calvin Johnson retired from football and his relationship with the Detroit Lions remains fractured.
In an interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio Friday night, Johnson said the team has not made an effort to mend the fences.
“They say they have, but no,” Johnson said.
That statement is contrary to what team president Rod Wood told WJR, the team’s flagship station, in June. He noted he had extended an invitation for Johnson to attend training camp.
In May, Johnson said he didn’t like the way he was treated by the organization after his retirement, likely stemming from the Lions seeking to recoup some of the signing bonus from his final contract.
