WR Diontae Johnson to Ravens

[csx]

None of them are thrilled. Seems Ravens fans are just okay with it or not impressed.

Unfortunate waste of text and energy but we gotta get rid of Morgan and Tepper. We need a complete overhaul of the organization to get out of this mess. This is just a minute example of the issues we've had. Under this group we don't just rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic... we throw the life rafts overboard as well.

No poo. The fact that the huddle couldn't piece that together when they saw the compensation,  is pathetic. 

Yeah he was becoming an issue on the field too giving up on routes while throwing teammates under the bus.  You can't have that while trying to change the culture.  The fact remains we were always getting much less than what Hopkins went for.  So we save $4 million dollars in rollover cap and move up some spots later in the draft.  No big deal he had to go and this was the best offer.

Dan Morgan is a fuging idiot

 

That is some dumb poo.  dionte must be lockerroom cancer.  I still think we could have gotten a 5th straight up

New Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson is a very cheap acquisition in Baltimore.

The Panthers are paying most of Johnson’s remaining salary in the deal, and the Ravens will only have to pay Johnson about $625,000, according to Jeff Zrebiec of TheAthletic.com.

The trade was Johnson and the Panthers’ sixth-round pick for the Ravens’ fifth-round pick. So the Panthers are going to pay more than $3 million in cash and cap space and give Johnson away just to move up maybe 15 spots in the middle of Day 3 of the draft.

Four thoughts on this:

1) the real payoff hasn't happened yet; that'll be when this fifth-round pick gets cut after training camp next year, and their sixth-round pick is an All-Pro three of the next five years.

2) I was excited about Dan Morgan as GM. I was wrong. I'll admit it; Fitterer's the worst GM in NFL history and Morgan's not that bad, but he's a God-awful GM and easily No. 32 in the league.

3) This team will set the record for most consecutive seasons with the NFL's worst record, and it's going to be for at least another decade. It'll be until the mid-2030s before another team's season is worse than one of these.

4) Three of the five worst trades in NFL history have come out of Charlotte in the last three years.

Players given up in trades the last few years:
RB Christian McCaffrey
WR D.J. Moore
DE Brian Burns
WR Diontae Johnson

Value received in return:
none

What's crazy is that if those four players were just released outright, this team would be better off than now. It's the punchline of every sport; "At least we're not the Carolina Panthers."

I seriously don't think they're going to have a record as good as 3-14 for another 9-10 years. Hopefully by then they've folded, because their existence is an embarrassment and a black eye on the Carolinas. Every day they're in business is a worse day for this state.

Terrible trade. 0/10

If that was truly the best, just cut the guy. So I guess all the reports of teamS wanting him were BS. Just awful, he could bring in a comp of 3rd and rvens are the best at comp picks.

Think about this the Panthers cut Coker at seasons start and it took a injury to AT for them to bring him on the 53. Some other team could have signed him off the PS and wrecked one of the few bright spots for the seasons. Coker allowed Johnson to be traded, but I do not buy the cancer stuff....the guy can play as anyone's #2. 

 had to pay most of salary and give away a pick?? fug outta here with that, call 911

[ColumbusCounty]

Wtf Morgan!?! ..I get the trade but a 5th??? 

Even if we couldn't resign him this offseason we could have possibly got a 3rd off comp picks alone.

I'm taking it as Dan's intending on breaking the bank in FA which would cancel it anyway. 

That said, we honestly might be garbage/incompetent in every facet as an organization.

So how did we save 4 million again? 

[frankw]

The "we got rid of a locker room problem" angle is moot because we knew what he was when we traded for him. Even random Steelers fans came here telling us he was basically a headcase. We paid this guy to leave that's how bad it was.

People can take the cope route after this move and rejoice Johnson is gone but the real problem remains. Morgan is throwing poo at the wall no different than Fitterer did. And he's got David Tepper in his ear dictating to him what to do just like he did with Scott.

Fleeced.
