Johnson is going into the final season of a two-year, $36.7 million contract extension he signed with the Steelers in August 2022
As the Pittsburgh Steelers try to figure out their quarterback situation for next season, they are also willing to explore trade opportunities involving wide receiver Diontae Johnson.
Per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, there has been interest in Johnson from teams around the league and the Steelers are “open” to hearing offers for him.
Johnson is going into the final season of a two-year, $36.7 million contract extension he signed with the Steelers in August 2022.
Trading Johnson now would save Pittsburgh $10 million against the cap. That’s a huge number for a team that currently only has $18.4 million in cap space.
