Lions Working On Extensions For WR Calvin Johnson, Coach Jim Schwartz

General manager Martin Mayhew gave his annual post-season report to the media Thursday, and, as he typically does, he dropped a couple of news items. He said that all three coordinators, whose contracts were up after the season, have been re-signed, offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham and special teams coordinator Danny Crossman will be back at their posts for 2012. Mayhew said he was also working on an extension for head coach Jim Schwartz, whose contract would expire after next season but the big question, though, was about Pro Bowl receiver Calvin Johnson, whose current contract will expire after the 2012 season. "Do you guys think he's pretty good?" Mayhew joked. "Should we keep him around?" Mayhew answered his own question with a resounding yes. "I am not going to suggest a pay cut for him," he joked. Mayhew said the plan is to work on an extension for him this offseason. "We have an opportunity to work on that," he said. "It's not something that absolutely has to be done, but we have an opportunity to work on that and we plan to pursue that."
