Ravens waived WR Diontae Johnson [Claimed off waivers by Texans]
Given our current state at WR why the heck not? He’s proven to be a solid WR. I haven’t watched him enough to know if he’s true #1 WR material or not. With Olave’s future in question, having another really good WR can’t hurt.
Even if Olave can come back and play without sustaining another concussion, he would be much better as a #2 WR. His body can’t take the punishment of a true #1 WR.
If Johnson shows he can be a true #1 WR, then that just helps us out in the draft to focus on other positions. If he can be a solid #2 WR then that will allow us to still have a good WR if Olave does get hurt again. If not, cut him and we’re right back to where we are now. I can’t see him commanding a high salary right now so there really isn’t any down side.
