Megatron a.k.a. Calvin Johnson is getting paid with a 8 year/132 million deal and 60 million dollars of it is guaranteed and for the Lions effort to make the deal happen free up money this season to go after a free agent as he was scheduled to make 22 million dollars this season and apart of the new deal he will be receiving 9 million dollars. Megatron is so much taller 6-5 than most corner backs so he has caught a pass in each of his 76 games and has more over 4 catches games than 1 or 2 catch games and has 21 100+ yards games including 2 200+ yard games and 5 150+ games so he can go down the field 10-15 yards and turn around and Drew Stafford throws the ball up and more often than not he will come down with the ball. Calvin has averaged 16 yards a catch and has 366 catches and almost 6,000 yards (5,872) over the past 5 seasons to go with 49 TDs along with 25 40+ yard catches and 96 20+ yard catches and when the Lions needs a first down they go to Megatron as he has 270 catches for first downs.
So this deal will be a great deal for the Lions because Megatron and Stafford will be a great pass/catch combination over the next 4 or 5 yards as Stafford is coming off his first 5000+ yards season and if they both stay healthy it will not be the only 5000+ season that he will have and Megatron will have even more 100+ yard games and 200+ yard games. So the Lions will be able to challenge the Packers in a couple of season with the D staying strong and will be able to be a future Superbowl contender.
This is the Lions so it will go wrong some how
