The Ravens are looking to add more firepower to their passing game, and they acquired an accomplished wide receiver, Diontae Johnson, from the Carolina Panthers.
Johnson has logged 357 receiving yards and three touchdowns this season and has been a bright spot in an otherwise struggling Panthers offense. Even with his contributions, Carolina was 1-7 on the season and heading towards a rebuild under first-year head coach Dave Canales.

Johnson is in the final year of a two-year, $36.7 million contract originally signed with the Steelers in 2022. The trade could offer him a fresh start with a team in playoff contention.
Johnson will join a wide receiver corps that includes Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Nelson Agholor as starters.
