Steelers Did Not Submit Waiver Claim On WR Diontae Johnson

The Pittsburgh Steelers did not submit a waiver claim in an attempt to reunite with WR Diontae Johnson. According to ESPN’s Field Yates, Johnson, claimed by the Houston Texans after being waived by the Baltimore Ravens Friday, would’ve gone to the Los Angeles Chargers had the Texans not submitted their bid after losing WR Tank Dell to a season-ending knee injury.

They were the only two teams to submit waiver claims on Johnson.

Besides the Texans, one other team attempted to claim WR Diontae Johnson off of waivers, per source: the Chargers.

Houston had priority over Los Angeles, as two wideout-needy team competing in the AFC claimed Johnson.
