The post-Pittsburgh Steelers career for veteran NFL wide receiver Diontae Johnson continues to spiral downwards.
Johnson, who previously spent time with the Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans last season after being traded from the Steelers for cornerback Donte Jackson, is now out of a job with the Cleveland Browns.
According to NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo, the Browns are releasing Johnson, who signed with the franchise back in late April on a one-year deal.
