Lions | Detroit wants Calvin Johnson to return

Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson may be offered an extension by the Lions in an effort by Detroit to bring their star wide receiver back. It was reported earlier that Johnson made the Lions aware of his intentions to retire following the 2015 season.

Footballguys View: Of course the Lions want Calvin Johnson back! Not only are they thin at the position behind him, he’s still a top-10 receiver in the NFL. Johnson is far from the end of his career, and he could be a top contributor to their offense for years to come. Nothing’s official, and the Lions are hoping they can convince Johnson to play in 2016..and beyond.
