Diontae Johnson Saga ‘Another Example Of The Mastery Of Mike Tomlin’, Florio Says

Former Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson has already added the Carolina Panthers to his list of former teams. Come no later than March, it’s looking like he will add the Baltimore Ravens to that list, as well. That would mark potentially four teams within a calendar year, uncommon for a starting-caliber player with a Pro-Bowl resume.

And it’s all another feather in Mike Tomlin’s cap, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk argues. After all, Diontae Johnson is just the latest example of a player Tomlin moved on from who rapidly imploded. Teams have struggled to learn that there is a reason the Steelers move on from players, and it’s rarely money.
