The Pittsburgh Steelers’ decision to trade wide receiver Diontae Johnson isn’t a move that improves their roster.
Losing their top receiver is a significant setback for the team, especially considering the lack of progress on potential replacement options like Tyler Boyd and Brandon Aiyuk.
Reports suggest that financial concerns were the primary motivation behind Johnson’s trade, as he was entering the final year of his contract and didn’t anticipate being re-signed by the Steelers.
While Johnson’s potential in Pittsburgh remains unfulfilled, his departure provides him with a fresh start in Carolina, where he can contribute to quarterback Bryce Young’s development. It remains to be seen how Johnson’s NFL journey will unfold with his new team.
