In a shocking turn of events, it appears that former Steelers WR and current Raven Diontae Johnson has worn out his welcome with another NFL team. While nothing has been confirmed, the writing is on the wall for the disgruntled wide receiver.
Johnson took to social media to seemingly complain about his playing time with the Ravens, and after playing zero snaps in Week 13, his time in Baltimore could be coming to an abrupt end. He had played 17, 5, 11, and 6 snaps in four games from Weeks 9 through 12, respectively.
During the Baltimore Ravens’ Monday presser, HC John Harbaugh was asked to touch on Johnson’s future, but the head coach declined. Harbaugh stated that it would have to wait for another time, as “there’s some moving parts” regarding Johnson. He added that the team would explore where they currently stand with Johnson, and vice versa.

Could Harbaugh be hinting at Johnson’s potential release from the Baltimore Ravens organization? And if he is released, although he is unable to re-sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, could Johnson find himself a suitable contender this close to the playoffs?
