Ravens Say Goodbye to Johnson After Short, Troubled Stay

Baltimore Ravens have parted ways with wide receiver Diontae Johnson, ending his brief and tumultuous tenure with the team. Johnson, traded from the Carolina Panthers in October, made little impact on the field. In four games, he caught just one pass for six yards and was suspended for refusing to enter a game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Ravens highlighted this incident in their announcement of his release. Johnson's time with the Ravens was marked by more suspensions than receptions. Before joining Baltimore, he had a productive season with the Panthers, catching 30 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns. Initially, Johnson was traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he had his best season in 2021 with 107 receptions and over 1, 100 yards. Now, at 28, Johnson finds himself unexpectedly searching for a new team earlier than anticipated.
