Sources: Calvin Johnson told Lions he plans to retire

I hope this makes Caldwell take a long, hard look at whether he wants to keep his $22M QB.

First Barry Sanders now Calvin.

All time great talent, in my books the 2nd best receiver ever. Sad that he had to be so good that he positioned himself to be drafted by the Lions. Sadder that he decided in 2012 to be loyal to the organization and sign an extension when he could have played elsewhere.

Rumble in Paradise: some good reading on boxing, Samoa and well, er, boxing and Samoa.

Someone's going to make a nice 30-for-30 story about this.

Who would they replace Stafford with? I am by no means a Stafford fan but he is the best the Lions can get at this point.

There are half a dozen good QBs in the draft this year. Connor Cook is a local and could well slip to 16.
