Bill's Blog: Mega-Wealthy

Your Detroit Lions have signed WR Calvin Johnson to a seven-year extension, keeping Megatron in the Motor City until 2019. The contract is said to be worth $132 million and includes $60 million guaranteed. It is the richest deal ever in the history of the NFL (The Lions did what?!?!)...Larry Fitzgerald signed with Arizona last year for $120 million. The All-Pro racked up a league best 1681 yards receiving for the Leos in 2011 and he is clearly their marquee player. The beer is going to cost more but it it's going to taste oh, so much better!

In the words of Lions play-by-play guy Dan Miller..."Calvin, you're rich!!!"
