In a stunning, comical and calculated move, the Baltimore Ravens have claimed wide receiver Diontae Johnson off waivers. Yes, the same wide receiver they:

  1. Made a deadline trade for
  2. Suspended after refusing to play against the Philadelphia Eagles
  3. Cut fewer than two months after acquiring
  4. Faced off against on Christmas Day after being claimed by the Houston Texans

Uniquely, though, the Ravens won’t have him “awarded” to the team until after the Super Bowl, which is why the move is quite a clever ploy by General Manager Eric DeCosta.
