The Carolina Panthers traded Donte Jackson to the Pittsburgh Steelers a year ago for wide receiver Diontae Johnson. He immediately stepped up for the Panthers as their most talented and reliable wide receiver. However, he was not happy with the Panthers offense through the first seven weeks of the season, despite leading that offense with 30 receptions for 357 yards and three touchdowns.
The Panthers ultimately traded Johnson as the trade deadline approached to the Baltimore Ravens while swapping their fifth- and sixth-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. Those picks have now been made, rendering the trade complete.
