The Athletic Predicts Steelers, Diontae Johnson Won’t Reach Agreement On Extension

With the contract extension of three years, $71 million now officially signed, sealed and delivered between the Washington Commanders and standout wide receiver Terry McLaurin, all eyes shift to the Steel City, where the Pittsburgh Steelers and wide receiver Diontae Johnson are coming into the final season together under contract.

Johnson would like a contract extension in Pittsburgh, one that pays him like the top receiver in football. The Steelers would like to extend Johnson, based on all reports regarding the situation. But the Steelers likely won’t dole out top dollar to Johnson, considering their history at finding standout wide receiver talent through the draft.
