Both of those links refer to the same source. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10135604-2024-nfl-trade-block-big-board-entering-week-3

 

It's not a rumor, it's a suggestion as stated here:

"Still, the 28-year-old will be a free agent next offseason and could be a valuable trade chip if Carolina continues to flounder.

Receiver-needy teams could use Johnson, who caught 51 passes for 717 yards and five touchdowns as the Pittsburgh Steelers' No. 2 receiver last year. "

They call it a rumor in the headlines, but I was careful to frame it as weak or speculative.  The headline does not call it a suggestion, but that is what it seems to be.  I guess rumors are repeated suggestions or opinions with a supported premise based on facts, data, or logic.

Former Steelers Controversial WR Involved in Trade Rumors

Said it the other day, there is zero reason to keep him at this point

We're not signing him to an extension, he was brought in for someone we were cutting anyways, to give Bryce a better option on the outside, but Bryce sucks anyways and now is on the bench.

If we can get anything for him, we'd be stupid to keep him, we need draft assets, not rental players for the rest of a lost season.

And in reality, I'm also trading Thielen to a contender who could use his sure hands and route running, as again, we need assets and he's not part of our future anyways.

DJ has best WR in the league potential...  reminds me a little of prime AB or Diggs at his peak.  If we've learned nothing else over the last few years is - once you have an asset, you should do everything you can to keep them, because the return is often never going to get you your value back.  We also have a horrible habit of selling low.

I hope this isn't being considered.  Andy is gonna get him the ball.

We’ll see. If Dalton comes in and plays even at a Kyle Allen level we will learn a lot of new things about different players.

At this point I don't even care.

 

I just want competitive football for a change. 

I’ll settle for watchable.

I agree, lets see if he can preform if so offer him a contract.

I'd rather see XL get experience and develop than Johnson anyway so if you can get something for him, go for it.

Xavier is getting plenty of play with Johnson on the team. You keep a guy like Johnson on the team because you will have another rookie next year.

But very hard to understand. If there weren’t subtitles I wouldn’t understand 66.6% of what he’s saying. Not that that’s a bad thing. Seems like a good, down to earth dude who will do just fine when he’s playing days are done.
