Calvin Johnson on the trading block?

Let’s end that buzz right now,” laughed offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, calling it “completely insane” and saying he “would be pretty depressed if that ever happened.”

“Yeah,” coach Jim Schwartz said, “we’re in the process of trying to acquire good players, not let good players leave. I think that if we’ve learned anything from history, it’s to value talent and not to discard it.”

Dang, he would really be nice to have.

If we got Calvin Johnson then the Panthers would probably resign Moose and keep him as our 3rd wide out which would leave us with an amazing receiving corp. Just imagine Steve Smith, Calvin Johnson, Moose, and Dwayne Jarrett. Just thinking about it gives me chills.

Moose and DJ give you chills? Lay of the pipe, man.

That's wild the Lions are even talking about trading him though. I'm trying to think what they need most. I guess Defense. I can totally see some team giving up a #1 Pick and their star at some D position.

Too bad we can't do it.

Why would we want him here? Two #1 receivers on the same team never work. What we need is a great #2.

this in a way. I'd rather add a Welker, Dallas Clark, Antonio Gates/etc(yes I know they're te's)

Good news is Davone Bess, a Welker type receiver is entering free agency this year.

    • I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy. 
    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
