The Lions continued contract negotiations Monday with their first five draft picks, hoping to have deals done before players report to training camp Wednesday. But it is unclear if everyone will be in on time. Wide receiver Calvin Johnson, the No. 2 pick overall, seems especially unlikely to make it.

Is this surprising to anyone. Until other top ten-fifteen 1st round picks start signing he will not sign.

they really need to change the way they pay rookies, it's huge disincentive to have a top ten pick anymore. its fifty fifty that they will make it and they get paid way too much.

No big deal, the Lions do this every year, just like what they did with Sims last year. He showed up the second or third day of training camp.
