The Detroit Lions have locked up their biggest star, signing receiver Calvin Johnson to a seven-year contract extension worth almost $130 million, according to the team's official website.The deal makes Johnson -- who scorched the NFL with 96 catches for 1,681 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2011 -- the highest-paid wideout in league history, surpassing the eight-year, $120 million contract Larry Fitzgerald signed with the Arizona Cardinals before last season.http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000...sevenyear-extension?module=HP11_breaking_news

damn!

megatron deserves some sort of high-eight, low-nine figure deal.too bad he won't see it all. you know how selfish football teams are. they'll cut him year seven or eight of that deal,but how many teams have won a super bowl with a 100 million dollar player???? the lions team value is only 780 mil and this isnt basketball its football.
