Hopefully, Carolina Panthers fans didn’t get too attached to wideout Diontae Johnson.
According to multiple reports from Tuesday afternoon, the team will be trading their leading receiver to the Baltimore Ravens. The deal will see Johnson and a 2025 sixth-round pick headed back to the AFC North in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round pick.
The Panthers, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, will also be footing most of the remaining bill on Johnson’s contract. Baltimore, per Zrebiec, will only be responsible for around $625,000—leaving Carolina with approximately $3 million to pay.
Needless to say, Panthers fans are not very happy with the return . . .
Panthers, somehow, embarrassed us fans more off the field than they do on it. And that’s saying a lot.

Just because you have to trade someone doesn’t mean you have to take any trade offered to you

So we’re still paying his salary , essentially gained no extra picks, and lost your most productive WR ?
