WR Diontae Johnson to Ravens

Diontae was a one year rental that would've been kept only if we made a notable turnaround this year. We haven't. Temperament speculation aside, he's been banged up quite a bit already this season, another issue he had with the Steelers. Of course you try to get something for him now, even if it's just moving up on the draft board.

I do wonder if Dionate & his agent just came forth to Carolina and said "trade me". Essentially quit on the team, showed up to practice in shorts, and simultaneously tanked his value on top of the rumors of being a diva. 

That is what it smells like. 

I expect Morgan to try and save face on getting value with whoever is next.

No one else wanted the job. Tepper has not been shy about sticking his nose into daily operations. No one else would put up with that shyt. 


Yep, it was obvious he was their only option.

They now have to stick with him and Canales for another two years minimum to have a shot at repairing Tepper’s reputation and the teams ability to recruit talent.

Those first 2 games of the season killed any chance of him staying.

    • Why is it a no-brainer? I mean the idea of a hold out made me laugh out loud.
    • Oh, oh. I see what you are saying. Yeah but not all of those were draft for draft replacements. Jones was a dumpster dive. The overall point I was making is that it is becoming more common to see this quick pivots as people realize their mistakes. It happens with a lot of busts historically at QB.  IDK about "most teams" have fast, capable WR's. It's a mixed bag across the league. There are the Hopkins, Evans, etc that aren't sub-4.5 guys and are still star players.
    • So if it comes down to that, and it played out, we could be looking at a post June 1 designation for his 5th year money at best. Assuming it is guaranteed which I don’t know.     13.25 mil cap hit in 2027 and 2028.   I have to admit I never really went into the angles after picking up the option. I have always been don’t do it.    So, you pay him the 12 mil for year 4 and if you want out when they go into extension lobbying you trade or cut.  Is that conceivable?   The thing about trading is, I believe all the guaranteed money hits your cap right then. That’s 26.5 million if correct.  So if they picked up the 5th, this would cover the ‘we want out’ expenses from our end, after year 4.   Correct?
