Ravens Acquire Diontae Johnson To Boost Offense

Washington Commanders linebacker Dante Fowler Jr. breaks up a pass intended for Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (5) during the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024

The Baltimore Ravens have made a significant move to bolster their offensive arsenal by acquiring wide receiver Diontae Johnson from the Carolina Panthers. In exchange for Johnson and a sixth-round pick in 2025, the Ravens sent a 2025 fifth-rounder to the Panthers. Johnson, who had been the leading wide receiver for the Panthers, joined Carolina in an offseason trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has recorded 30 receptions for 357 yards and three touchdowns this season but missed the recent game due to a rib injury.

Several teams had shown interest in Johnson before the Ravens finalized the deal, with some possibly deterred by his past locker room issues. The Panthers, looking to enhance their draft position, may entertain more trade offers before the November 5 deadline. Running back Miles Sanders could be a potential trade candidate, although his recent performance might impact his market value.
