Diontae Johnson, a former wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was suspended by the Baltimore Ravens for one game for actions that were bad for the team. Due to Johnson’s refusal to play in the team’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, wide receivers Tylan Wallace and Nelson Agholor saw more than 40 snaps. Johnson, meanwhile, did not receive any snaps.
Johnson has been dissatisfied with his role on the team ever since the Carolina Panthers trade. There is no assurance that the suspension would put a stop to the drama, which will now fester even more. There will be talks over the bye week regarding whether it is appropriate to keep Johnson under contract or cut ties with him, according to Fox Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
In March, the Panthers acquired Johnson from the Steelers in exchange for Donte Jackson. Johnson was moved from Carolina less than halfway through the season, while Jackson has five picks for the Steelers.
If the Ravens decide to cut Johnson, Pittsburgh may be able to bring him back, although waivers would apply. Johnson, a free agent this offseason, has seen a sharp decline in value in recent weeks.
