WDFN talks about it.

It is from 11-5, take a listen.

I wonder if Mayhew even entertained the idea. You think he has?

I really do wonder if Calvin could fetch Seattle's 2 x 1sts and maybe a 2nd rounder?

1. G. McCoy

1. D. Bryant/R. McClain

1. Trent Williams/ S. Weatherspoon

2. G. Hardy

2. T. Lindley

Interesting draft for sure.  I love Calvin but man this team is so far down the drain with talent.  Even if we had Adrian Peterson i would be the same way.  It is sooo soo soo hard to game plan a offense around 1 guy. You just can't do it. You need to have more than 1 guy.

Anyways, i don't think Calvin goes anywhere but it was just a thought.

and THAT is why WDFN went off air for a while with firing Stoney and Wojo.... because they say the stupidest things on that station

There would be riot in Detroit if they traded away their best player.

  No way in hell.

Word.

First of all, negative Drew Sharp brought it up - that sums it all up.

His partner on the radio pointed out several times: let's not worry about that, until his option year of 2012.

The age-old argument that you trade your best player, before he walks clean as a F.A. is just that: Age-old.

...The bigger concern is these annual $30-40 million signing bonuses they're paying out to these players drafted in the top 3....

They did that a couple years ago.  We went 0-16 thereafter, but no riots.

this is my stance as well.

With that said- every player has a price. There could exist such a trade scenario that would be foolish to pass on- one that even I would endorse. But the likelihood of any team ever offering such a trade is remote at best. I guess we are stuck with arguably the most gifted reciever in football. We're just gonna have to grin and bear it.

I second that.  TOO MUCH PURPLE KOOL AID.

Right now, trading CJ definitely sounds stupid. This idea may sound a lot more palatable in 2011, unless the Lions look like they are making serious improvements on their way to becoming a perennial playoff team. Suppose the Lions finish about 6-10 in 2011, and then Calvin has his contract coming up.  Our attendance has not been good, and isn't likely to improve much until this team shows that they can win games, Under those circumstances, would it even make any sense to pay Johnson's next contract?  CJ is going to get some MAJOR money, and I don't see him giving the Lions a cutrate, so we either have to pay the man-or franchise him for maybe even more money.

   To the idea of some that you don't trade a star for draft picks, someone said it would take established players, I disagree.  It would be about the same as the Herschel Walker deal, you do not know what you will be picking-you just have faith that you can use the extra multiple picks to upgrade your team. If someone would offer 2 1sts and 2 seconds, I would trade CJ right now-let alone in 2011.

Would be foolish

Yeah let's trade CJ so we can yet again draft another WR who isn't going to be as good brilliant idea.. Here's a crazy idea how about we try and build around our young talent instead trading it away..

How many games has Stafford played where he actually had CJ to throw to?

CJ has missed a lot of games in his career.  Anybody got a count of how many games CJ has not played since he came into the league.    Seems like a lot to me anyway.

But he is the most talented player on the Lions.

How many games has CJ played in?

How many games has he missed due to injury?

While he could be a stud, hes injured far too much to expect a lot of comp for....sorry.

Killer said today he's missed three games.. so that would be 36 that he has played in, and three that he has not.  That doesn't seem like a much of an injury record to me...
