Diontae Johnson
Houston Waived Diontae Johnson
3 weeks ago

Diontae Johnson was let go by the Houston Texans after 3 weeks with the team. Johnson will be rostered by the Ravens after the Super Bowl since they waiver claimed him in a procedural move.

Since being traded away from Carolina in Week 9, Diontae Johnson only caught 3 passes that’s 1 fewer than the number of teams he was on in the past 12 months. Johnson did not earn a route rate above 30% through his 8 weeks with Baltimore, and only participated in 55% of his routes in his solo appearance for Houston. 

 

We are left wondering what is not being said about Diontae. Each team that has traded or waived him this year has been quiet and professional, no scathing comments but also no real details have been shared with the media. Diontae will be an unrestricted free agent by the time he is officially moved to the Ravens squad and he will likely land with another team next season. We have seen NFL teams give plenty of opportunities to talented wideouts, despite character concerns and against their best judgement. The Cowboys are notoriously a home for troubled youths but watch out for WR needy teams like the Patriots, Broncos and Commanders to take a shot on Johnson next year.
