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.

 

NM my first response. I was misinformed… That sucks…

I agree, but I also think we didn’t have any leverage at all. And that’s what bit us in the ass.

leverage matters. 

Maybe don't make the trade then, if it only makes you worse in the short- and long-term? They never seem to consider that. Ever.

I know we are talking late round picks, but this trade is one of the worst I can recall.

Panthers- move up 10-15 *late round spots AND pay 3million+

Ravens- "upset" top end #2 WR Johnson

It honestly made more sense to cut him, about any other offer would have been better. Even Johnson for 2028 7th, at least then you got the tiny 4milllion in cap space.

Panthers are PAYING teams to play Vonn Bell, Dionte Johnson, Bradey Bozeman, and Hayden Hurst!!!

Just insane. 

0% chance that was the best offer. All I got is Dan Morgan is now employed by the Baltimore Ravens.

100% Id rather told Johnson to stay home for the remaining season and gamble for whatever comp I could get besides this one sided ravens trade.

It happened with Meshawn before.

All those reports "MuPtILeD TeAMs InTeRTeStEd", such horse poo.

At this rate, potential No. 1 picks should be clamoring to get drafted here. You'll get paid well, you can ball out for a year and then get traded to a better team, plus the Panthers will still pay you so that better team can get even better.

Should have just traded Jackson for a pick straight up. 

In the end that's what happened. They got a 5th round pick and had to give up a 6th and $9M to rent Diontae for 7 games.

Buy high sell low...the panther's way.

I’m gonna go ahead and guess Johnson said some of the things we all post publicly on this forum, privately to the team owner. I don’t blame him. Burn the stadium down, this franchise is literal trash 

[AceMan]

Officially over the Morgan/Canales era

Knew Morgan was a horrible negotiator from Hard Knocks

[PantherPhann89]

We have up a 6th for a 5th a player and paid the player 2.9 million to leave, leaving the Ravens to only pay 625k. WTH

Carolina got him for nothing, now do the ravens. Tells you all you need to know about this turd

I have no doubt DJ was another Tepper player favorite Canales had to prove was bad for the team.
