Megatron may cause Lions mega headache

Got any Advil?

And THAT is the end of the Detroit Lion resurgence.

This is what happens when a team decides to backload a players contract.

Optimus Prime and the Autobots will save us

Stafford should take a pay cut to keep him. Really.

Everybody should take a pay cut to keep him if that's what it takes

agree... I wonder how much Stafford and Suh would be willing to part with to keep Johnson

Suh needs that money to pay for his fines, which also contain escalators...

+1

Steelers in 2013?..... nah.

The money is crazy, but if anyone is deserves to be the highets player in the league, it's Johnson.

The little fairy that wrote that is not only throwing his fairy all around but he is also smokeing it.Detroit will not let him go,the same BS was being thrown around with Barry Sanders also.

They went from crappped out to capped out in three short years. What a Country.

They kept getting the first player in the draft year after year when it cost you big bucks.
It is the price you pay suucckking so bad for so long. How do people think they got talented players? they went first every round.
frigg em.

I suppose if you are feeling frustrated ...you can come to New England Mr. Megatron

To me, it seems like someone in the Lions organization should arrange a meeting with the high-paid players (i.e. Megatron, Stafford, Suh, and whoever else is up there, I don't know the Lions' financials) and frankly go "Hey. We've got this great thing going right now. Let's work something out to keep it going."

And they should be prepared to be laughed at.

It would go something like this on the players you mentioned part:
Yeah, sure, just backload some of that money and increase the guaranteed amount and put in no franchise tagging or tagging of any kind. Now give me the pen..oh and a signing bonus, now
