Why Running WR Diontae Johnson Out Of Pittsburgh After The Season Doesn’t Make Sense

Coming out of the Pittsburgh Steelers Week 12 road win against the Cincinnati Bengals, I see a lot of fans of the team suggesting that WR Diontae Johnson should be run out of town next offseason, if at all possible. Obviously, those feelings escalated this past Sunday by Johnson’s lack of effort after a first half red zone fumble by RB Jaylen Warren. With that seeming to be a growing fan base sentiment concerning Johnson heading into Week 13, I thought I would address the economics and other key things related to Johnson possibly being jettisoned in some form or fashion after the 2023 season ends for the Steelers.
