The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed wide receiver Diontae Johnson to a contract extension, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network.
Per Garafolo, Johnson agreed on a two-year, $36.71 million extension. The two sides reportedly worked last night and Thursday morning to end his hold-in with a shorter deal that will now allow the wide receiver to become a free agent in 2024.
Earlier in the week, new Steelers general manager Omar Khan talked about how the organization would like Johnson to remain a Steeler for the foreseeable future. Johnson’s agent was at training camp that same afternoon.
