When Johnson found out he had been traded to Baltimore, it felt like he hit the lottery.

"Once I found out where I was going, I was excited," Johnson said. "Sigh of relief. I'm ready to work."

The Ravens had the best offer? What were the other two teams offering? Were they wanting Johnson and our first round pick for a 6th round pick?

Doesn't really say much good for him...or us, honestly.

Can't say I blame him - I would want far away from this shitshow of a team also.

Curious to see if he will be a headcase for the Ravens though.

How do you not get more than a 5-6 swap, especially teams like SF and TB that need WR help

its called incompetence and desperation ie Morgans calling card

Diontae Johnson failed to catch his only target in the Ravens’ Week 12 win over the Chargers.

Johnson continues to be buried on the depth chart behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, with the team not even giving him usable snaps on a weekly basis due to their emphasis on heavy personnel groupings. His usage in Baltimore is quite the head-scratcher considering the team trading for his services before the trade deadline this year.

Obviously they didn't want him. Trades require a willing partner.

They got him for free if anything happens to either of the two top targets he’ll ascend right into a starting spot. Not a bad deal for them wish we could have worked things out with him we’d have a little more pop on offense but we’re better off in the long run and he wanted out in major way so everybody wins.

I'd say we've gotten better since trading him.

But he 3rd on the depth chart not 2nd. That's what the article is referring to. I'm not saying he wasn't a decent trade for them but many in Baltimore were upset they didn't aquire defensive help over a 3rd string receiver.

Yep. Losing him and putting Ian Thomas on IR were big time boosts to the offense.

His best chance at a huge contract next year was being fed the ball on this team. But maybe he's chasing a ring, in which case he has a shot with the Ravens...

[CarolinaRideorDie]

He is a diva, even with Baltimore winning, he will cry and pout and ask to be traded. He cares about his numbers and stats for his next contract. Ironically, his best chance to showcase his ability was with us, now he is just an afterthought.
