New Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson is a very cheap acquisition in Baltimore.

The Panthers are paying most of Johnson’s remaining salary in the deal, and the Ravens will only have to pay Johnson about $625,000, according to Jeff Zrebiec of TheAthletic.com.

The trade was Johnson and the Panthers’ sixth-round pick for the Ravens’ fifth-round pick. So the Panthers are going to pay more than $3 million in cash and cap space and give Johnson away just to move up maybe 15 spots in the middle of Day 3 of the draft.

 

NM my first response. I was misinformed… That sucks…

I agree, but I also think we didn’t have any leverage at all. And that’s what bit us in the ass.

leverage matters. 

Maybe don't make the trade then, if it only makes you worse in the short- and long-term? They never seem to consider that. Ever.

I know we are talking late round picks, but this trade is one of the worst I can recall.

Panthers- move up 10-15 *late round spots AND pay 3million+

Ravens- "upset" top end #2 WR Johnson

It honestly made more sense to cut him, about any other offer would have been better. Even Johnson for 2028 7th, at least then you got the tiny 4milllion in cap space.

Panthers are PAYING teams to play Vonn Bell, Dionte Johnson, Bradey Bozeman, and Hayden Hurst!!!

Just insane. 

0% chance that was the best offer. All I got is Dan Morgan is now employed by the Baltimore Ravens.

100% Id rather told Johnson to stay home for the remaining season and gamble for whatever comp I could get besides this one sided ravens trade.

It happened with Meshawn before.

All those reports "MuPtILeD TeAMs InTeRTeStEd", such horse poo.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
