Calvin Johnson: Detroit Lions' offer shows team 'not serious' about mending fences

CANTON, Ohio — Calvin Johnson and the Detroit Lions remain at odds ahead of Johnson's enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend, but the team has submitted an official proposal to bring Johnson back into the fold that the legendary receiver has deemed inadequate.

The Lions submitted their proposal to Johnson and his agent, Bus Cook, this spring in hopes of having their dispute resolved before enshrinement weekend.

Johnson has been at odds with the team since he retired following the 2015 season, when he said he was forced to repay a $1.
