Calvin Johnson plans to retire...

[DisturbedShifty]

Detroit Lions star receiver Calvin Johnson told his family and a close circle of friends before last season that 2015 would be his final year in the NFL, and he delivered the same message to coach Jim Caldwell the day after the regular season ended, sources told ESPN.


Caldwell told Johnson not to rush his decision -- to take his time, sources told ESPN. Out of respect to Caldwell, Johnson agreed to do just that, according to sources.

The Lions have not given up hope that Johnson could change his mind, but one person who knows Johnson well said, "He's pretty content with his decision."

Amazing how fast his decline was. Given his injury problems it is smart to leave while he can.

After he personally killed my fantasy team, he should retire! In all seriousness, his decline has been ridiculously fast. He went from dominating to broke down seemingly overnight.

I can't help but wonder if he will take a year off and then come back kinda like Ricky did.

Another insanely talented, elite, sure HOF'ers career cut short by playing for the Lions.

The city of Detroit must take its toll on people. Come on down to Miami Calvin!

Feel bad for Detroit. Calvin Johnson retires and then the next day Caldwell hires Edsall and Al Golden (the worst coach in the world) to coach tight ends.
