Diontae Johnson On The Move?

Diontae Johnson Headshot

ESPN's Adam Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday that he expects WR Diontae Johnson to get traded ahead of next Tuesday's deadline. It makes plenty of sense for the 1-7 Panthers to get something in return for Johnson, who is set to hit free agency this offseason. A new home would certainly mean an upgrade in QB play and general offensive environment for Johnson. But he'd also have a new offense to learn and very likely face tougher target competition. Consider Johnson a hold while we wait on a potential trade. His departure would free up targets for WRs Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette, and Jalen Coker. But none is an exciting fantasy option considering the state of that offense.
