Former wide receiver said Sunday that he is "moving toward reconciliation" with the organization.
According to Justin Rogers of the Detroit News, Johnson revealed that he has had some face-to-face conversations with Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp.
Johnson spent his entire professional career with the Lions, but he retired in 2016 after just nine seasons. His issues with the Lions date back to his retirement, when the team made him repay a "seven-figure portion" of his $16 million signing bonus.
On Saturday, Johnson was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
