Some say love is what makes the world go around. Others say it’s money. In the case of the Detroit Lions and former wide receiver Calvin Johnson, it appears money can buy that love. The Lions want to once again have a loving relationship with Johnson. And Megatron wants his money back.
Following the 2015 regular season, Johnson, the second overall selection in the 2007 NFL Draft, up and retired after a nine-year career. Unfortunately, he had signed a massive eight-year contract extension just four years earlier worth up to a whopping $132 million which made the 26-year old the highest paid wide receiver in the league at the time.
