The fears and doubts surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers’ biggest problem, the wide receiver room, may soon be solved! Fans of the Black and Gold have finally gotten their wish: former Steelers WR Diontae Johnson has been waived by the Baltimore Ravens.
Drama and dropped balls aside, Johnson is one of the most accomplished route runners in the NFL. With that in mind, a reunion with the Pittsburgh Steelers could soon be on the horizon. The Ravens certainly believed so, as it appeared the team was content to allow Johnson to remain on the roster for one extra week to potentially prevent the Steel City from acquiring his talents in time for their Week 16 AFC North showdown.
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense, with a healthy George Pickens, would be near unstoppable with Johnson back as the team’s WR2. After a chaotic and excitement-filled day for Steelers fans, here are some of the best reactions to Diontae Johnson’s exit from the Baltimore Ravens.
I’d do it in a heartbeat. https://t.co/zRfaOWorlF

Don’t think it will happen, but it’s hard to argue this:
The Steelers would be a better team with Diontae Johnson.
And considering the injuries and the fact that you’ll be playing January football – how could you not consider it?

I’m not gonna lie… Russell Wilson throwing to Diontae Johnson, GP, and CA3 would be insane. 🤷🏻♂️ say what you want but I want that mf back in black and gold. and we need another receiver, ASAP. #HereWeGo #Steelers
