WR Diontae Johnson to the Ravens Baltimore Ravens got: WR Diontae Johnson, 2025 sixth-round pick Carolina Panthers got: 2025 fifth-round pick Trade date: Oct. 29 Original grade for the Ravens: A New grade for the Ravens: C Original grade for the Panthers: D New grade for the Panthers: B+ I didn't understand this deal when it was made. Johnson was decent for Carolina (357 receiving yards in seven games), had previously demonstrated a high-end ability to get open and looked like a valuable addition to the Ravens' receiver room. And the cost to acquire him -- a fifth- and sixth-round pick swap -- was nothing compared to Johnson's talent. What I didn't know at the time was that Johnson was in the midst of flaming himself out of the league. After playing 39 snaps and having one reception for the Ravens, the team suspended him for a December game after he refused to enter the team's contest against the Eagles. Later that month, the Ravens waived him. Johnson was then picked up by the Texans and played two games for them -- including a wild-card win over the Chargers -- and caught three passes. The Texans cut Johnson before the divisional round. He was claimed by the Ravens in an attempt to land a compensatory pick for him as a pending unrestricted free agent. He signed with the Browns this offseason but failed to make the team, despite Cleveland needing receiving talent. In retrospect, it's clear there were off-field factors at play that led to Carolina deciding it was ready to move on. That explains not just the trade, but the return. This was clearly a failed deal for Baltimore, but the cost was minimal -- hence the "C" I handed it on the regrade.

haha

Absolutely. Texans have a terrific team, on paper. Their major weakness is their terrible o-line. C.J. is a fine young QB but pressure up the middle has always been his kryptonite even back at Ohio State days

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans is expected to miss “most of the year” after suffering a broken collarbone in Week 7 against the Lions. Per me

Bryce Young injured his right ankle during the Week 2 game against the New Orleans Saints in the 2023 NFL season. The injury caused him to miss the following week’s game against the Seattle Seahawks but he was back for week 4

Gibbs gives off CJ2K vibes

Tampa Bay has been absolutely killing the draft the past 5 years. They have found core players round 1 thru 7 every year.

This clearly signals the team is moving on from Bryce

Princely Umanmielen came back from getting treated for a back injury, but still played a third of the snaps (20). That's toughness. While he was out, they used both Boogie Basham (10) and Thomas Incoom (eight), at times having the practice squader and the special teamer on the field together. That's trust. Lathan Ransom played a bigger role this week, also playing a third of the snaps. His usage will likely vary week to week depending on matchups.
