Welcome Back? Ravens Claim WR Diontae Johnson Off Waivers

Diontae Johnson, we hardly missed you. The Baltimore Ravens have claimed back Diontae Johnson one day after the Houston Texans waived him. It’s Johnson’s second stint with the team after being traded to Baltimore via the Carolina Panthers mid-season.

Because it’s the postseason, Johnson will not be officially awarded to the Ravens’ roster until the day after the Super Bowl meaning Johnson can’t play for Baltimore the rest of the way. It appears the reason for the move is to create the possibility of the Ravens receiving compensatory picks for Johnson should he qualify in free agency.
