The Baltimore Ravens made a somewhat surprising decision on Friday to waive wide receiver Diontae Johnson less than two months after acquiring him via trade from the Carolina Panthers. Johnson's issues in Baltimore, highlighted by a suspension for refusing to enter a game, have been well-publicized but it is nonetheless a surprise that the Ravens decided to cut bait so quickly.
It is perhaps more surprising that other AFC contenders are reportedly willing to give Johnson yet another chance. On Sunday, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported three top of the conference squads could put a waiver claim in on Johnson: the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, and Pittsburgh Steelers.
