Calvin Johnson 9th year 1st round 2007
Contract: 5 years remain $20.9 million cap hit
GA Tech: 38 games 178 rec 2927 yards 28 td
119 games 114 starts
643 rec 10405 yards 74 td 9 fumbles lost 16 tackles
Analysis:
I do not believe Calvin is an elite receiver anymore. Injuries and age have eroded his skills. He can every now and then be a dominate player but not every game. He still is effective target because of his size and can move the chains.
Golden Tate 6th year in the NFL 2nd in Detroit UFA in 2014
Contract: 4 years remain. $10.1 million cap hit

Corey Fuller 3rd in Detroit 6th round 2012
Contract:Last year $510,000 hit
Va Tech: 20 games 45 rec 834 yards 6td
16 games 2 starts
14 rec 212 yards 1 td
Analysis:
Shows flashes on being an NFL WR. He has speed and has decent hands. Has not shown the ability to catch in traffic. That is the difference for Corey.
Lance Moore 11th year 1st in Detroit FA 2015
Contract: 1 year $665,000 Hit
Toledo: 49 games 222 rec 2776 yards 25 td
Analysis:
Veteran who spent much of his career in the Saints system. He was productive but struggled last year in Pittsburgh. Does he have anything left?

Contract: Last year on contract $1.17 cap hit.
Oklahoma: 48 games 349 rec 4586 yards 45td
21 games 6 starts
32 rec 410 yards 2 td
Analysis:
Broyles on his last chance. Injuries have ruined his NFL career to this point. This is 1st off season he has had to train not rehab since his junior year in Oklahoma. Can he return to pre-injury form?
Jeremy Ross 5th year in NFL 3rd in Detroit Fa 2013
Contract: last year $660,000 Hit
Cal: 36 games 57 rec 764 yards 3td
26 games 15 starts
29 rec 377 yards 2td
Analysis:
Ross in on the hot seat. He struggled in the return game in 2014. Ross was one of the least productive 3rd wr in the league as well. He is a good blocker. Will he emerge?
TJ Jones 2nd year in Detroit 6th round 2014
Contract: 3 years remain $536,500 hit
Notre Dame: 51 games 181 rec 2429 yards 19td
