When it came time for the Pittsburgh Steelers to move on from wide receiver Diontae Johnson, they reportedly didn’t want to trade him within the AFC, instead shipping him to the Carolina Panthers.
In a rather fitting move Tuesday though, the Panthers flipped Johnson — who spent five seasons with the Steelers — back to the AFC North, trading him to the Baltimore Ravens, setting up two matchups against his old team down the stretch, matchups that Johnson is looking forward to.
For Steelers’ team captain and star defensive lineman Cameron Heyward, he’s looking forward to playing his old teammate, too, especially after the trade added even more juice to the rivalry matchup.
