The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to paint the WR Diontae Johnson trade as anything but addition by subtraction. They received CB Donte Jackson in return, a player whom they’ve coveted for some time. It sounds as though the Carolina Panthers similarly value Johnson and what he can bring to their offense.
“The goal for the receiver room was let’s challenge the explosiveness, let’s challenge the one-on-one matchup, and Diontae is a guy I’ve been watching for a long time”, Panthers head coach Dave Canales said recently about the receiver, via Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
