Unnamed GM Wondered If Ravens ‘Really Did Their Research’ Before Trading For Diontae Johnson

Baltimore Ravens WR Diontae Johnson is on his third team this calendar year—and one wonders how long that lasts. The Ravens yesterday announced a one-game suspension for the former Steeler, citing conduct detrimental to the team. In a statement, they disclosed that Johnson refused to check into the team’s last game, despite being active.

Sunday marked Johnson’s fifth game with the Ravens since they traded for him from the Carolina Panthers. The suspension makes a lot more sense of the curious comments the team made about his playing time after the game. The Steelers got CB Donte Jackson in exchange for him when they traded him to the Panthers.
