With about as much guaranteed money as LJ is asking for, from what I heard on the radio. Lotta dough!

Unreal. The guy's earning $10 million a year for six years, and he hasn't played a down in the NFL.

ESPN.com did a top 50 most likely NFL players to go to the HOF. Calvin Johnson was on the list, and he was ahead of WRs like Chad Johnson. Adrian Peterson was on the list as well. It was pretty ridiculous.

I think Calvin is the real deal, but it would be funny if he follows the Lion tradition for WR's.

What percentage of the lions salary cap goes toward rookie WR contracts I wonder.
