Diontae Johnson failed to catch his only target in the Ravens’ Week 12 win over the Chargers.
Johnson continues to be buried on the depth chart behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, with the team not even giving him usable snaps on a weekly basis due to their emphasis on heavy personnel groupings. His usage in Baltimore is quite the head-scratcher considering the team trading for his services before the trade deadline this year.

Quite the head scratcher? They got him for nothing and only planned to use him in obviously 3rd and long plays. I'm still going to laugh if they win the Superbowl and we end up moving 1 pick for him. 100% a Panthers thing to happen

Why? He was going to get cut if no one offered anything. He was terrible for the locker room and helping our QB develop. He obviously isn’t as good as some on here thought judging by his stats on the Ravens.

Giving up on routes causing interceptions and blaming everyone else on the team is pretty much demanding a trade.

That's just him and why his trade value wasn't what some Huddlers expected.

The Morgan criticism over this isn't very intelligent.

Im about 99% sure he told both Dan and Dave, he was not going to let BY ruin his free agent year and refused to play.

 

He had a mystery injury BYs first game back in Denver. 

 

He's the new age player- all him, only him, pay me.

I like to think the ravens said hey we aren't going to give you much and we're only to play him if someone gets hurt and Morgan took the deal with slightly better ones on the table as a fug you to johnson. He's not getting a big contract next year like he probably would have if he stayed here

I think talent wise he is good as a #2 possession receiver. As a human being, he is an annoying prick and I'm glad to see him not touching the ball one iota with Baltimore.

And his stats aren't good for the Ravens because they run a ton of 2 te/2 RB sets and don't go 3 wr much because of how dominant of a run team they are

The Steelers were ready to move on from him and they still need WR help. He is good at running routes, but only when he wants to. He isn’t going to bang through traffic on his routes. Instead he is going to stop his route and cause a TO. That’s a terrible trait for a WR to have. How can you ever trust that as a QB?

Comp picks will widen the gap

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
