Free agency is only 14 days away at this point and the Detroit Lions have yet to hear a decision from Calvin Johnson.

The last two Just Say No pieces dealt with a myriad of positions. But this weeks edition will strictly deal with the one position that has Lions fans freaking out everywhere. Of course I’m talking about the wide receiver position. Ever since Calvin Johnson told the world that he was contemplating retirement, Lions fans everywhere took to Facebook and Twitter with all types of answers to the issue of Megatron walking away.
