Around SBN: Indy 500: Coverage of the 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing'

Reportedly facing significant salary cap problems, the Lions may have a dilemma on its hands with all-world wide receiver Calvin Johnson. Thanks to hitting most of the escalators in his current deal, Johnson has the largest 2012 cap number in the NFL at $21,081,946. Cap situation aside, trying to extend Johnson's contract was probably an off-season priority already since he's entering the final year of his rookie deal and is arguably the NFL's best wide receiver. Johnson will have a tremendous amount of leverage in negotiations with the Lions. ... Megatron's franchise number is so astronomical that the Lions might be forced to let him become an unrestricted free agent after next season if they can't agree on a new deal.

As much as people complain

about the chiefs not spending enough. It really is nice to not have these problems. We can sign our players and still not be handcuffed.

yup

as long as we don’t get ourselves caught in the “trap” overpaying certain high-priced Free Agents … there are a couple out there that could hurt us if not careful

Thats what I really like about this front office

no knee jerk reactions that lead to bad signings. best way to run a team is to do whats best for the team today aslong as it doesn’t kill you in the future.

Link isn't working for me....whats the headache?

That the best WR in the game wants to be paid as such or that they gave him a team unfriendly contract?

In honor of your screen name and your post about Megatron, I found this. (I decided not to the 69 images I found…do you know what 69 REALLY means? Whoa. It’s weird.)

When I first read the link that took me to this article

it read “best FA WR” and I immediately thought of Bowe. It’s nice to know these are not issues we have, I couldn’t imagine having to let our best player walk because we didn’t manage a budget that would allow us to sign them.
