The Steelers’ Pro Bowl wide receiver Diontae Johnson appears poised to play out 2022 under his current rookie deal, however make no mistake, he is fully aware of the eye-popping contracts recently given out to other receivers like the four-year/$120 million given to the Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill, or the absurd four-year/$72 million deal the Jaguars gave to Christian Kirk at the dawn of free agency. Coming off a season in which he posted 107 catches for 1,161 yards and eight touchdowns, Johnson seems confident he can build off those numbers to substantiate a big payday this upcoming season. However, the muddled quarterback situation in the Steel City this season may play a part in some regression for Johnson, and count Maurice Moton of Bleacher Report among those believers, as he recently wrote.
