Kahn: Steelers want Johnson for the long term

LATROBE, Pa. -- With Chris Boswell's contract extension now behind him, the next big thing on first-year GM Omar Khan's to-do list with the Steelers is to sort through what to do with wide receiver Diontae Johnson.

Johnson is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is scheduled to make just over $2.7 million this season. But he'd like a contract extension that would give him long-term financial stability and has staged a hold-in over the first week of the Steelers training camp here at Saint Vincent College.
