The Ravens' surprising waiver claim for journeyman Diontae Johnson could result in an additional draft pick for Baltimore.

Johnson, who was waived by Baltimore earlier this season, was claimed by the Ravens one day after the wide receiver was waived by the Houston Texans, it was announced Wednesday.

Johnson won't officially move to the Ravens until Feb. 10 -- the day after the Super Bowl. He qualifies as an unrestricted free agent. By claiming him, the Ravens will have a chance at earning a compensatory selection for the 2026 draft depending on the contract Johnson signs in free agency.
