Trade deadline rumor - Calvin Johnson

I'd prefer to shed salary and get younger. Adding CJ would be great if we were in the playoff chase, but we aren't.

[6025]

Selfishly I'd love for him to come here, but I can't help but think it would be a disaster for him.

[Mister Hoarse]

We would probably ship KA for him and fuck ourselves for a decade.

[6025]

Let's throw Rivers and next year's #1 while we're at it.

[Bolt-O]

WRs last longer in this league, and with the Chargers shedding Weddle, Floyd and possibly Gates, it's something they should try to do. They went after Andre Johnson and Steve Smith previously, and maybe the Lions would take a mid-round draft pick to get rid of his salary.

[Formula 21]

Before saying no, what's the cost? KA and Megtron? That's a heck of a set of starters. And Rivers would know how to use him. And Floyd's money disappears after this year.

[QSmokey]

The LAST thing this franchise needs is an aging WR. Really? Who conjures up this stuff anyway?

[richpjr]

One thing we are lacking at WR is some speed. KA is a fantastic possession WR, but he isn't going to blow by many DBs in the league. CJ looks like a shell of himself, but it's hard to say how much he has left in the mess that is Detroit's offense.

It would prevent TT drafting a WR with a top 5 pick in the draft...

It would prevent TT drafting a WR with a top 5 pick in the draft...

Maybe, maybe not.

[Stinky Wizzleteats+]

Yeah we will pick fifth, trade that and our third to move up two picks to draft a WR who will get 1/3 of Stevie Johnson snaps his first year while KA and CJ play outside... I can see it.
