Lions WR Calvin Johnson is making $6 million more than any other receiver in the game this year. He'll draw a stunning cap hit of $24 million next year. Which means even if he's still a weapon, he's overpaid -- and given his production this year, severely so.
So with a new general manager stepping in, there's no telling what will happen. That's where the uncertainty lies over Johnson, even if he's still a talented guy.
The story went on to say that Johnson said he wants to play out his career in Detroit, even if that means toiling through another rebuild. The story also said the money is hard to get around, hence the uncertainty. But owner Martha Firestone Ford has no interest in a rebuild. She believes Detroit is talented enough to win now, and that will be the charge of the new GM, and the new coach if there is one.
