's relationship with the has been rocky But the Lions appear to be taking a step toward mending their broken relationship.On Monday, Lions president Rod Wood told WJR Radio that the team invited Johnson to training camp."I did invite him out to training camp," Wood said on WJR on Monday. "We'll see if he does that. Hopefully he shows up and he's a great player. We want to have him in the tent and not outside the tent."Wood said Johnson's displeasure with the Lions is "a little disappointing," but he concurs with what Caldwell said during spring workouts that they hope they can work things out with the former star Roy Oswalt Jersey receiver. Wood said he's exchanged text me sages with Johnson in recent weeks and they have been "very cordial" and "very profe sional," but he declined to get into specifics.The public rift between Megatron and the Lions peaked recently when the former receiver said in May that "I don't even like to talk Lions too much just Johnson told the at the time Andy Pettitte Jersey . "If they see me around here, we'll see. But hey, I don't know."I just didn't feel like I was treated the way I should have been treated on the way out. That's all. I mean, it's all good. I'm not tripping. I don't feel any kind of way, just hey, that's what they did. Hey, it is what it is."The reason for those comments? As the reported in June, It was always expected that he'd pay back a portion of his signing Dallas Keuchel Jersey bonus, but the figure wasn't expected to be that large. That's likely the reason behind the choppy relationship. Here's where it's worth pointing out that the Lions did something similar to Barry Sanders . Johnson hasn't stopped taking shots at the Lions, by the way. Last week, Johnson said he retired because "I didn't see a chance for the Lions to win a at the time, and for the work that I was putting in, it wasn't worth my time to keep on beating my head against the wall and not going anywhere," Johnson told .Previously, Johnson has also framed his decision to retire around his health. In December, Still, comeback rumors have persisted due to his age (31). It's not like Johnson retired when he was slumping. In his career, he caught 731 pa ses for 11,619 yards and 83 touchdowns. he ranked seventh in receptions, first in receiving yards and first in touchdown catches. In his final season, Carlos Correa Jersey he caught 88 pa ses for 1,214 yards and nine touchdowns. But, about his health ... Johnson told ESPN in December. "Look, man. I got stuff that's going to hurt for the rest of my life. I got a finger that's literally bone-on-bone. This bad boy, it gets smaller. The more and more I do, it grinds bone-on-bone."Literally from last year, I went this year to get another X-ray and this Jose Altuve Jersey is after I retired, I knew it was me sed up but I didn't know to what degree because it was hurt."So, don't expect Johnson to make a surprise return to football, even if he does show up to training camp later this month.
