Diontae Johnson had “sigh of relief” when he was traded to Ravens

Article:

Wide receiver Diontae Johnson experienced a major change in circumstances this week. 

Johnson was traded from the Panthers to the Ravens in a deal that took him from a team with a 1-7 record to one with a 5-3 mark and aspirations for a deep playoff run. Johnson shared his reaction to that change of fortune after his first practice session with his new team on Wednesday.

“Once I found out where I was going, I was excited,” Johnson said, via the team’s website. “Sigh of relief. I’m ready to work.”

Johnson spent his first five seasons with the Steelers, so he’s very familiar with the Ravens and quarterback Lamar Jackson. Speaking of Jackson, Johnson said that getting a chance to “contribute to the offense that he’s a part of and that he is a leader of is a blessing” and the hope in Baltimore is that the new wideout helps lift everyone to new heights in the second half of the season.

Win-win. The trade was lame AF but he had to go given his situation.

I'd have a sigh of relief as well going from BY9 to MVP at QB.

I'm wishing him well; he came to play, I thought he handled this sh*tshow very well.
Go win.


Now hopefully we are owed something good and we draft a Tyreek Hill or George Kittle with our 5th rounder lol.

He came to be a part of this and did his part here. Sad that we couldn't be better for him, but he's got a better opportunity now.

He was a rental here, anyway. Best of luck to the guy.

Now Jalen Coker will have more opportunities to show us the future here.

There isn't a QB in the league that wouldn't qualify as an upgrade. Dodged a, well I don't want to say bullet, how about dodged a nerf ball.

It’s just wild that any name that people recognize in the NFL that end up on our team are traded. We have maybe 4 blue chip players on our team currently. With that being said, I don’t believe was good for the locker room based on our willingness to move him for as cheap as we did

Go Ravens!

He was brought in to help the midget look like a competent QB. That plan blew up spectacularly.

Never got all the talk about how bad Pitt QBs are and he was not happy, like do you not know who Carolina QB is ... lol

There was no way in hell he was going to be happy with Young at QB....

The only weird thing to me is how everyone was saying how good of a teammate he was when it seemed the writing was on the wall due to his increasing negativity.

We’ll screw you to then.
