Notes: Calvin Johnson says relationship with Lions ‘trending up’

The new Detroit Lions regime may have pulled off yet another win, but this time off the field.

In an interview with The New York Post, Calvin Johnson said his relationship with his former team is “trending up” nearly eight years after his retirement.

“We’re trying to come together and make something happen,” he told the Post. “Obviously I’d love to be around the team and do more things there and help the guys out. It’s good that we’re moving in the right direction.”

Johnson shocked the nation with his early retirement in 2016 after nine seasons in Detroit.
