The Steelers and wide receiver Diontae Johnson continue to have contract discussions throughout the offseason. According to a report by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, an agreement is still not close.
Even though general manager Omar Khan said Tuesday that he “hope(s) he’s going to be a Steeler for a long time,” it’s likely that the two sides won’t come to an agreement before the start of the 2022 season.
According to the report, the wide receiver is asking for more money than the Steelers are willing to give. It’s unclear what amount Johnson is wanting to receive from his team.
