N/S Ravens waived WR Diontae Johnson [Claimed off waivers by Texans] (2 Viewers)

Johnson is one helluva WR. Obviously no one knows what that young man has been thinking for him to be acting the way he has. However, his stock is basement low level. I would bring him in bc he is a low risk/high reward signing.

Guy has been a cancer everywhere he's been. I'm all for giving people the benefit of the doubt and 2nd chances, 100%, but at some point, you have to stop excusing toxic behavior.

Weird bc Mike Tomlin squashed any reports of him being a malcontent in Pittsburgh. Personally, I believe that he thinks he’s a bonafide #1 WR, when he is a tier below that.

As bad as our WR situation is, should we consider this?

No he quit on his team cus of targets hes a bird

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.

Tomlin has always said the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

I would have to offer him a one year prove it contract. I think his potential is great if the coach's/player's can help get his head on right.

Absolutely.

Why not give him a shot. We're down to undrafted free agents starting. If he doesn't work out just cut him.

Claimed by the Houston Texans. Supposed to be ready to suit up Christmas Day against the Ravens (!).

Good pick up for Houston, and an opportunity for Dionte to play for a contender and do some damage control. He immediately slots in as one of the Texans’ top 2/3 healthy WRs.
