    Default Calvin Johnson Set On Retiring

    So sad to see him go, but very happy to see him do it on his own terms Megatron, you will be missed.

    With the money these guys are making and the risks of a big injury always there I think we will see more and more of those guys retiring younger and younger...

    Sad to see him go, he's been my favorite player pretty much since he came into the league.

    Agree with JH though, with all the information available to these players now, I wouldn't be surprised for this to become much more common.

    Sad that Detroit never put a team around him.
    Even the year(s) they looked semi-good, it was because he single-handedly racked up the yards.

    You almost wish that either Megatron or Stafford had to miss a season so they could draft a game changer to help them out more.

    He’s one of those guys where he had swagger 100% of the time. His tinted visor and his size made him look lethal.
