Diontae Johnson fell down the pecking order at the Baltimore Ravens and eventually ended up getting waived by the organization. Three teams in twelve months decided that they did not want Johnson anywhere near their facility.

The 28-year-old began the year with the Pittsburgh Steelers before they traded him to the Carolina Panthers for DB Donte Jackson in March. Johnson looked to be at home in Carolina, but a string of losses ticked him off. He wanted to play for a playoff-level team.

The Panthers listened to his wishes and traded him to the Baltimore Ravens for a 2025 sixth-round pick. Johnson played four games in Baltimore but only managed just one catch from five targets.

The relationship between Johnson and head coach John Harbaugh deteriorated so much that even though the Ravens were short on receivers while playing the Philadelphia Eagles, Harbaugh refused to play the Pro Bowler.

On Friday, December 20, the Ravens announced that they had waived Diontae Johnson from the team after they failed to find a trade partner.

How did social media react to the Baltimore Ravens releasing Diontae Johnson?

Johnson made a name for himself after posting 107 catches, 1161 yards, and 8 touchdowns in 2021 for the Steelers. The franchise thought they had found the successor to Antonio Brown, but they were wrong. Off-field shenanigans painted a bad picture of the former third-round pick, and Mike Tomlin did not tolerate him for too long.

At Carolina, he began to nag the coaching staff to trade him because he felt the team was not good enough for him. In Baltimore, the situation was much different because he had to beat out players like Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, and a few others. It proved a difficult task, and now he is no longer part of the team.

Johnson played a total of 11 games in 2024. He racked up 63 catches for 363 yards and 2 touchdowns. His best outing came during the week three fixture against the Las Vegas Raiders. In a 36-22 win, Johnson contributed 8 successful receptions for 122 yards and 1 touchdown.
