WR Diontae Johnson to Ravens

[Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.]

Clears almost 4 million from our cap this year to roll-over to next year.

Diggs is out for the year with an ACL and we do this trade? lol

What an honor to get fleeced by such a prestigious franchise. Feels better than getting fleeced by the poverty Bears.

[Chad_Cota]

So basically we just released him. 

[ChuckWag78]

Yea, don't love the compensation. At that point just keep him for the rest of the year. 

[Jaxel]

Dang I mean we got some ass negotiator running this franchise.

[Jay Roosevelt]

I do think it says something about a player when two teams essentially give him away for nothing in less than a year. Not saying he can't play, but you get the sense there's more to it.

I could've sworn that I read we'd get a 5th even if we kept him and he signed somewhere else this offseason - not sure if that's correct though. Either way - trading away a sixth that is likely to be the top spot for a fifth that will be near the bottom is some dumb poo.

Not really. I doubt there were many offers, I doubt there were any higher and he wasn't going to stay here.

It just is what it is. He really didn't cost us much anyway so what does it truly matter?

I’m not gonna lie, this is a bad trade. It’s essentially a difference of 4-5 picks. Surely with all the WR-needy contenders we could’ve at least got a straight pick and not a swap. Smh.

They don’t but that’s basically equivalent to a late 6th round pick. Might as well just release him and not waste the 5 minutes bending over to the Ravens.

I don’t think he was necessarily worth a “lot”, I was expecting a 4th or so, maybe a 5th…but to also send them our 6th? It basically amounts to moving up five or 6 spots from round 6 to the bottom of round 5

[CarolinaRideorDie]

Davante Adamas is a ALL PRO, likely future HOF and he got traded for a 3rd round pick. Johnson is not even top 15 WR in the league, temper your expectations.

Diontae will be whining in Baltimore too lol. He’s not going to get the ball like he thinks.
