ManCave Analyst Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I saw Retired WR Calvin Johnson on TV last week and he hinted he might be interested in playing another year . Didn't sound Happy with the way Detroit handled his situation. How about doing that GM stuff and making a personal call to him to gauge his interest and invite him in for a Visit and Phsical. He was a "BEAST" and the JETS are in dire need of a #1 Receiver. He could be a good mentor to the young WRs and provide a useful target for the development of the QBs. He could be a good 2 year fill in . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was spotted watching the Dolphins training camp earlier this week probably because he is boys with Suh, and thinks they can win for some stupid reason. But if anyone can pay a stupid ransom to the Lions for his rights it's Tannebaum so that wouldn't shock me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the price would be in a draft pick. Can't be much since he is retired and the preseason has started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hire more WR coaches and scan the waiver wire - the cut down from 90 to 53 should provide great opportunity for the Jets, Mac should have scouts at all other training camps (except 49's, Rams, Browns, Bears, Jags and Fins - we will be fighting them for top 5 pick in 2018) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadFan Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 There are no words.... So, Mega quits the Lions because they are a losing franchise and he felt they weren't worth the beating his body was taking.... and then someone actually thinks he might un-retire to play for the Jets? Wow. Just wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, but more choice and probably better choices - it will be brutal for most teams - some good players In the next CBA, they should try to increase roster sizes and add real practice time back into pre-season - start of the season will be sloppy for most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Brown Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Nice hoping by the OP but the response tell the entire story. Why would he come here ? But I note how Detroit is treating Megatron is in direct contravention to what the Jets did with their players, such as Bret Farve, Cotchery and wonder what would have happened had the Jets taken this tack.

ZachEY Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 You know, I woke up this morning thinking that the only thing separating the Jets from a Super Bowl run was a 15 million dollar, 32-year-old, retired, WR, and then I find this thread!

Calvin Johnson will come out of retirement to play for a team with legitimate Super Bowl hopes, and nothing less. He's already done the first pick in next year's draft thing, and he didn't like it.

That being said the Jets are not even in the equation. Nice thought though but not based in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesr Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I sometimes question the wisdom of the statement about a player like this helping out a young QB's development. Does it really? Let's say we signed Megatron, and Hack gets the start. Week 1, who's Hack going to look for on most passing plays? The guy who's looking the best option, or the guy who can potentially bail him out the most? I'd worry that a large disparity in WR talent would cause our young QB to look only in his direction, and that would not help his development one bit.
