PITTSBURGH — The Steelers have signed receiver Diontae Johnson to a new three-year contract, the team announced Thursday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but sources told the Post-Gazette the deal is worth $39.5 million.
Johnson had been a limited participant in practices during the first week of camp but mostly during individual drills.
The Steelers and Johnson found some middle ground in recent days that allowed them to hammer out a new deal. The Steelers are getting their No. 1 receiver under contract for the next three seasons at $13.1 million per season.
