CJ to retire ?

[broncosmitty]

they ate money for Jahvid Best and helped him all in the same for years of service.

That's true.

Good mention Blue!

If there were more, with today's social media presence, it would have been reported immediately, IMO. Also, the fact he didn't visit many teams facilities says, either Suh didn't want to play there or the teams weren't paying a king's ransom for a DT.

Personally -- I think it is silly to call out Calvin for something when Suh left on his own free will.

Why'd Calvin say he'd do whatever it takes, then did nothing?

Or are you firmly in the there's nothing he could've done camp? Cuz that can be a camp.

While Suh's former team, the Detroit Lions, were among the teams making competitive proposals, the Dolphins' parameters far exceeded the rest of the clubs interested in the defensive tackle.

I hope you feel accomplished now Lions. You have ruined 2 of the great careers in the history of the league.

No Miami talk, you should know this by now.

TPaul will never stop proving his point if you keep it up.

My apologies...

Me also being a Phins fan, I kinda see Dan having same treatment. Failed to build a winner around him also. He got closer than the two Lions did. However these are reasons why I tell guys here these franchises are mirror images for quite awhile.

Oh I agree. Same thing happened to Peyton Manning. I guess when you have a superstar player and you give him the superstar treatment, it's hard to build around, but I still think it's possible.

Just hearing Calvin say he's mulling retirement makes me sick......Fucking Lions front office......Incompetence doesn't begin to explain it.

Best wishes Calvin, sorry you had to play 9 years under the Fords. At least you got paid but even the Fords and management can kill the love of a game.

I would actually have to go straight to Millen if I join this camp.

He set the franchise so far back that having CJ, Stafford, and Suh as high picks crippled the franchise money wise, due solely for him being inept as a GM.

Agreed but the Fords are responsible for all hires and they do a shit job at doing it.

Way to piss on the old mans grave.

Looking more real by the minute.

Report: Calvin Johnson cleans out locker, isn’t sure he wants to play

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

all players clean out their locker at end of year, yes ?

according to article some veterans don't. I should read article before replying, yes ?

No. Not vets.

Source: Lions' Johnson contemplates retirement

A source told Werder that in addition to this season's injury issues, Johnson is frustrated in feeling the Lions have failed to maximize his ability in their offense. It doesn't seem that Johnson is attempting to convince the Lions to provide him a new contract or to trade him, although a source told Werder that Johnson was intrigued when his name was mentioned in possible trade-deadline moves, particularly if he had been sent to a team like the Carolina Panthers, whose 15-1 record is the best in the NFC.


BB_72... intriguing to read about that bold part.. but still have question media reports with unnamed sources.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

If the above article is correct regarding CJ's frustration in not maximizing his ability in their offense then look no further than Lombardi, imo. Lombardi made the comment last year that he didn't know how to use a player like CJ. (another sign that Caldwell failed this team by not correcting all the mistakes Lombardi made. O-Line blocking scheme, play calling, personnel used

On the other hand CJ needs to know he's not the very same player he was 2-3 years ago physically.

I'm pretty sure one of the UN-named sources is Nasty Nate Burleson.

He's CJs boy. And is in the biz.

On one of the initial posts, it reads like he talks.

Calvin playing for Carolina. Cam isn't the best passer in the NFL. No to Carolina. I don't say this to often but CJ would be better off with the gunslinger

The other thing I would add is guys like Ed, Ian, Jay... Usually don't report bogus shit. That's why they keep getting the scoop IMO. Most of what they report come to fruition.

Has nothing to do with this thread. I didn't know Mike Hart was the qb coach a WMU.. He's moving on now, I forgot the name of the college, I just read the article memory failure
