Nov 17, 2024; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson (18) reaches for an incomplete pass against the Pittsburgh Steelers during the first quarter at Acrisure Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Barry Reeger-Imagn Images Former Pro Bowl wide receiver Diontae Johnson is set to play for his third AFC North team, agreeing to a one-year deal with the Cleveland Browns, ESPN reported on Monday.
Johnson, 28, had an official visit with the Browns earlier on Monday. The six-year veteran split the 2024 season with the Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.
Traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to Carolina in March, Johnson got off to a strong start with 30 catches for 357 yards and three touchdowns in seven games. However, he was traded to the Ravens along with a 2025 sixth-round selection in exchange for Baltimore’s fifth-round pick in this year’s draft.
Johnson didn’t make an impact with the Ravens, catching one pass for six yards in four games. He also was suspended for one game for refusing to play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Dec. 1.
Johnson was claimed off waivers by the Texans and appeared in one regular-season game, finishing with two catches for 12 yards. Playing just 15 snaps in a wild-card playoff win over the Los Angeles Chargers, he caught his only target for 12 yards and was subsequently waived.
His odd season continued when the Ravens claimed him off waivers on Jan. 15, the day after the Texans dropped him. Depending on the contract Johnson signs as an unrestricted free agent, Baltimore has a chance at landing a compensatory pick in next year’s draft.
In six seasons, the 2019 third-round pick of the Steelers and 2021 Pro Bowl selection has 424 career receptions for 4,738 yards and 28 TDs in 89 regular-season games (75 starts) for the Steelers (2019-23), Panthers, Ravens and Texans.

Maple Leafs roster updates vs. Senators: Likely lines and big questions for Game 5
TORONTO — The Maple Leafs have returned home for Game 5 against the Senators with a chance to close the series out — something that’s been so difficult for this core to do.The Leafs are up 3-1 in the series and deserve credit for being in that place. But not putting the Senators to bed for good in Game 4 meant this stat reared its ugly head: The Leafs have now won just one elimination game in 12 opportunities, dating back to 2019. And so while the talk of demons around this team might still be premature in this series, it’s not as if we haven’t seen a version of this script before.AdvertisementCan the Leafs respond with a sense of urgency not just to start, but through every period in Game 5?

2026 NFL Draft: Which teams have most picks heading into loaded class? Patriots, Browns, Eagles lead way
Getty Images The 2025 NFL Draft has finally completed, with a flurry of action between the 32 teams that put a majority in position for draft capital for what is expected to be a stacked 2026 class. This year's draft class was deeper in the later rounds, but with players getting paid more in college through NIL and the last of the six-year seniors through the COVID era, 2025 didn't feature the top-end talent as a typical draft year would have. That will all change in 2026, with the six-year seniors essentially coming to an end and the first wave of NIL players going through four years of college, the draft class is expected to be loaded with top-end talent and as deep as it's ever been. Plenty of teams stocked the cupboard with draft picks for this scenario, and this isn't counting […]

Dynasty Fantasy Football TE Rankings: Bears choose Colston Loveland over Tyler Warren, you should too
USATSI I am not going to do the bit about tight end finally being deep. I definitely won't promise we're going to have 12 good starting tight ends any time soon. But after the 2025 NFL Draft, the position is certainly deeper, particularly in Dynasty. Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren were both first-round picks and are both top-five tight ends in the rankings below. There was some debate before the draft between Warren and Loveland, but the majority of analysts favored Warren due to his productive 2024. There is still some debate between the two after the draft, but now a majority, including me, favor Loveland. Jacob Gibbs was on Loveland over Warren before the Draft and joined me on the Rookie Tight End Preview last week to explain why:If you are on the fence, I think it makes sense to […]
