WR Diontae Johnson to Ravens


 Share

Recommended Posts

Regardless of how either team ends the season, it won't be a one pick trade up due to comp picks.

We really had no leverage in this and it sucks.

  • He isn't under contract next season
  • We weren't going to extend him
  • He was in a position to demand more money than he's worth due to our poor overall roster structure
  • He wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire aside from the Oakland game
  • He's on tape giving up on numerous routes and refusing to block
  • Letting him walk in FA would NOT have resulted in a comp pick due to us needing to fill out the roster by signing a FA in the offseason. It would offset the comp pick formula.
  • Team is overall dogshit so there was no point in keeping him when we have young guys on the roster to try to develop in Legette and Coker.

I wanted more like everyone else but I get why that's the best offer we got.

Hard to believe the best offer we could get was a 5th rounder for a 6th rounder and Johnson... At that point, might as well just release him and let him go to whatever team he wants because we literally gained zero value from this trade.

And it's trades like this that make it easy to understand why we are and have been the worst team in the NFL for several years

There is no way you could ever convince me this was the best option.  Especially considering kirk and diggs just went down

People getting upset about this trade expected wayyyy too much. We had no leverage. What did yall expect?

honestly this should have been expected. 

I don't know... A trade that resulted in us getting more than 1 pick that is six spots better than what our 6th rounder would have been...

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. 

Honestly, you're probably right. We're lucky we got anything for him

We honestly just need to nuke this entire franchise. Cut all the players, fire all the staff (from coach to coordinators to position coaches to medical staff to anyone else), and just completely start anew. We need to get the shitstains that are our players and coaches off this team.

Unfortunately our cuck owner can't fire himself, but the next best thing is just getting rid of literally everyone else, forfeit every game the next few years, and see if we can draft some winners with someone that hasn't been a part of this dumpster fire the past half decade

    • Jameis has more experience. But while Jameis has always had dicey decision making at best he's always had that big play home run potential at any given moment. Fair or not we're still waiting to see that from Bryce. And that's what separates the two of them as first overall picks. No offense or disrespect to anyone else but as a Panthers fan who has seen a lot I don't consider that a sample size compared to the whole body of work but that's just my opinion. We're talking 25 total games. To me a true sample size will be the last 4 games paired with the remaining games on the schedule. If Bryce can sustain consistency throughout that whole stretch then we have something to build on. But  I refuse to deal in these hopes revolving around 4 games or less. Seen it with Kyle Allen. Seen it with Teddy Bridgewater. And realistically we can name any number of QB's who have strung together a handful of impressive games but ultimately faded back to the norm. We will have to wait and see which category Bryce lands.
    • Would definitely resign Jackson and the kicker and punter and Jansen.  The rest meh.  Definitely resign Wonnum, Horn and on the fence with Moton if he costs a lot.
    • The Texans were no better with Diggs than last year - 95% of their success has been the draft.  Diggs is their 2nd WR.  And the Eagles were a playoff team before they got AJ Brown.  They drafted Hurts, Devonta Smith, Goedert, Miles Sanders, the entire defense.  It is wild to claim a single WR FA changed a team that much.
