We now know who one of those teams are, the team with the best record in the league, the Philadelphia Eagles.

To heat up rumors even further, Johnson was spotted on a plane to Philadelphia Sunday.
Detroit still owns the rights for Megatron, which they can trade to a Super Bowl contender that Johnson would be motivated to come back and play for, while the Lions would receive assets in return.
Johnson would be a perfect fit with the pass happy Eagles, adding another weapon to MVP favorite Carson Wentz and the Philly offense.
