So can we all agree our staff made the right call on moving him for whatever they could get? 

Says a lot about our coaching staff too.  They got the dude to play at least.

Lol at Diontae, dudes been a real inferno since being traded.

Sure if you give them a pass for being foolish enough to think the Steelers were letting a really good WR go for peanuts in the first place. He's what he's always been he hasn't changed at all since leaving Pittsburgh. Hopefully a lesson learned for our front office.

We traded DJax for him. We were cutting DJax regardless. Still got a small amount of capital from the Ravens for him. Really not much of a lesson to learn. Took a flier on a WR who didn’t work out for next to nothing. You have to keep trying to find talent by all means possible.

Many pundits were trotting out that “ravens won lol they will get a 3rd or 4th comp pick”

well you don’t get comp picks for waived players lol

DJax is who he has always been. A sugar or poo CB that will produce more INT's than most and get burned more than most too.

The Huddle chimping out over Johnson getting traded for anything less than a first round pick will go down as one of the most hilarious overreactions of the Tepper era.

The Steelers seemed happy to get rid of him--I thought we got the best of that deal--nope.   But D Jax was gone regardless, so it was def worth the look, even if we knew of his "issues."  Sometimes a new environment will change that.

That’s good for him, but he was getting cut because of his salary. He was getting cut regardless.

It was a solid attempt at trying something. Honestly, I have no qualms with a gamble on a good WR. He would still be the best WR on this team if he wasn't such a petulant child.
