LATROBE, Pa. -- Don't believe for a second that Steelers GM Omar Khan was simply paying lip service to the team being in contact with the agent for wide receiver Diontae Johnson on a contract extension.
Things are serious enough that Johnson's agent, Brad Cicala, was here on campus Tuesday as the Steelers completed their second day of padded practices here at Saint Vincent College.
Now, things aren't necessarily imminent. When you're talking about a deal such as this, it takes time. And after just completing Chris Boswell's long-term extension Monday, the Steelers can now move on to seeing if they can work something out with Johnson.
