Seidel: Megatron the face of Lions, but he may cost too much

CHICAGO – Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson dressed slowly in the locker room.

The season was done, and he was in no mood to rush after the Lions' 24-20 victory over the Chicago Bears.

Johnson proved he still can play at a high level Sunday after catching 10 passes for 137 yards, including a beautiful diving catch on a 36-yard touchdown.

Was that his last TD as a Lion?

"Oh, man, you never know," Johnson said. "If it is, though, you want to go out like that."

Johnson will count $24 million against the cap next season, and it doesn't make sense to have that much money invested in a player who has logged so many miles and will turn 31 in September.
