Diontae Johnson, a wide receiver with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was cut by the Baltimore Ravens. Johnson’s refusal to play in the team’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles this week led to his exclusion from the squad. The Ravens’ refusal to offer him any snaps in a contract year apparently infuriated him.
As a result, wide receivers Tylan Wallace and Nelson Agholor saw more than 40 snaps. Johnson, meanwhile, did not receive any snaps. The Ravens had to make some adjustments because of the high number of injuries at the position, and removing Johnson was the logical next step.
Johnson has been dissatisfied with his role on the team ever since the Carolina Panthers trade. Johnson’s future appears to be set, and it appears that his time in Baltimore is coming to an end.
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.
