WR Diontae Johnson to Ravens

[Panthercougar68]

Clears cap and I believe that Diontae probably requested to go to Baltimore to middle finger Pittsburgh later this year.

[DJ feed me moore]

so If the ravens win the SB and we are the worst team in the league it would move us up from the first pick in the 6th to the last pick in the 5th.... sorry Mi now OUT on dan morgan.

Also if we let him walk in FA. We would have gotten maybe a 3rd compensantory pick. Is our team ran by a bunch of morons?

Pick swap. We lost a 6th but gained a 5th.

wtf are you serious?

[Bear Hands]

So we gave up Donte Jackson & our 6th for Baltimore's 5th (which is likely going to be 5-10 picks from the our 6th rounder anyways lol)

That's a ~10 pick shift up. Wow.

They don’t but that’s basically equivalent to a late 6th round pick. Might as well just release him and not waste the 5 minutes bending over to the Ravens.

A pick is a pick. This is the smart move.

He isn't an elite player, he went after multiple teams had filled their need and he wasn't happy to be here. 

There wasn't much to negotiate about.

So we move up like 5 spots on a day 3 pick lol.

True.  I was thinking a conditional 5th that could become a 4th dependent on snaps/output.  This was a "just get this guy off the team" type of trade.  

[Daddy_Uncle]

That's a horrible trade. Especially since there were "many suites calling"

I mean pitt fans told us he was an ass, I guess we should have listened

I don’t think he was necessarily worth a “lot”, I was expecting a 4th or so, maybe a 5th…but to also send them our 6th? It basically amounts to moving up five or 6 spots from round 6 to the bottom of round 5

It just is what it is. He was not re-signing here, he was trending towards locker room cancer and the teams that needed WR help had largely filled those needs.

I am not mad about it at all. This is just what happens when you are in chaos as a team and don't have much in the way of assets to move.
