Megatron restructures deal with Lions
Calvin Johnson - WR - Detroit Lions
March 18, 2013 - 7:00 PM ET

Calvin Johnson restructured his contract, creating nearly $3.5 million in 2013 cap space.

Johnson converted $4.285 million of his $5 million base salary into a "signing bonus," lowering his 2013 cap number from $12.201 million to $8.773 million. The move gives the Lions some wiggle room to sign free agents before the draft.
