Detroit Lions - Team Notes

Jets wideout Brandon Marshall respects Calvin Johnson?s decision to potentially walk away from the game. ?Awesome. I think that he?s strong,? Marshall told Nicki Jhabvala of The Denver Post. ?I think it takes a lot of strength and courage to walk away from the game. I think all of us face that time when we question ourselves or question our passion and love for the game, and if we want to move forward. I think most of us stick around a year or two or three too long".

Possible Lions cap casualties include linebacker Stephen Tulloch, running back Joique Bell, and tight end Brandon Pettigrew, writes ESPN.com?s Michael Rothstein.

When it comes to Calvin Johnson, Rothstein believes it?d be best for the Lions if the wideout stuck around for one more season. That way, the team could draft a young receiver who could learn from the superstar. However, if Johnson does decide to hang it up, the writer believes the team could pursue Marvin Jones or Jermaine Kearse.
