Calvin Johnson is currently in a career year here in 2011.
He has nine touchdown catches in his first five games, he remains a constant threat on offense for the Lions and his current contract runs through 2012.
With the salary cap in the NFL set to rise significantly next season it is imperative that the Lions sign their biggest offensive play makers since Barry Sanders.
J.I. Halsell, former salary cap expert for the Washington Redskins and current analyst for ESPN 980 in Washington, D.C. believes that extension for Megatron is coming.
According to Halsell, the Lions will be set to sign Johnson to a blockbuster contract extension before the 2012 season.
