Another Team Change for Diontae Johnson

In a surprising move, the Cleveland Browns have decided to release wide receiver Diontae Johnson as they finalize their roster cuts to 53 players. This development marks another chapter in the turbulent career of the 29-year-old wideout.

A Bumpy Career Journey

Johnson's stint with the Browns was brief; he signed a one-year deal with the team in April 2023, but failed to impress enough during training camp and preseason to secure a spot on the final roster. This follows a challenging few years, having previously been traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Carolina Panthers, where he played for just seven games.

From Carolina to Houston and Beyond

After his short tenure with the Panthers, Johnson was traded to the Baltimore Ravens, only to be waived later in the season. He briefly found himself on the Houston Texans' roster but lacked the impact expected from him. His journey came full circle when he returned to Baltimore during the postseason, but once again, he was left seeking a new opportunity after the Ravens' playoff exit.

Stats and Potential

Drafted in the third round back in 2019, Johnson boasts respectable career statistics: 424 receptions, 4,738 receiving yards, and 28 touchdowns across 89 games. Despite the recent setbacks, there’s still hope that Johnson can find a team willing to capitalize on his talent. With his proven track record, several franchises may be keen to take a chance on him as the NFL season approaches.

What's Next for Diontae?

As Johnson hits the open market once again, fans and analysts alike are left wondering where he will land next. Will he find his footing and make an impact this season, or will he continue to struggle to find a permanent home in the NFL? One thing is for sure: the veteran receiver has plenty of fight left in him.
