The Carolina Panthers got next to nothing in the Diontae Johnson trade, and a recent report shows why the return was so low.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Wide receiver Diontae Johnson was one of the biggest names on the trade market, so it came as a surprise when the Carolina Panthers dealt him and a sixth-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens for a fifth-round pick. While he\u2019s no superstar, the former\u00a0Pittsburgh Steeler\u00a0has a 1,100-yard season under his belt and played well in Carolina, recording 30 receptions for 357 yards and three touchdowns in seven games. Getting essentially nothing for him didn\u2019t make much sense, especially considering the Dallas Cowboys gave up a fourth-round pick for draft bust Jonathan Mingo.<\/p>\n

Diontae Johnson will be a free agent at the end of the season, so the Ravens made the trade knowing he\u2019d be nothing more than a short-term rental. That may explain part of the low return, but a recent interview with\u00a0Panthers General Manager Dan Morgan\u00a0provided more clarity on the issue. Per\u00a0Kassidy Hill of\u00a0Panthers.com<\/em>, both Johnson and the Panthers organization felt that a parting of ways was best for both sides.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe felt at the end of the day that it was best for the team and best for Diontae that we both part ways and get the compensation there that we got.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Panthers, Diontae Johnson Both Wanted Trade<\/h2>\n

This marks the second trade request from Diontae Johnson in less than a year, as the wide receiver wanted to leave the Steelers following the 2023 campaign. Chances are, the wide receiver wanted a better quarterback so he could hit free agency with the highest value possible. While Bryce Young and Andy Dalton couldn\u2019t make him a superstar, MVP frontrunner Lamar Jackson has that ability and his presence could turn Johnson into a valued commodity on the open market.<\/p>\n

The Panthers, meanwhile, also benefit from the move. In addition to the slight edge in draft capital, Johnson\u2019s absence allows more playing time for their untested youngsters.\u00a0First-round pick Xavier Legette\u00a0and\u00a0undrafted free agent Jalen Coker\u00a0are both off to promising starts this year, with Coker standing out with a series of impressive catches. These two combined with tight end Ja\u2019Tavion Sanders gives Carolina a potential foundation for their impending rebuild, and Adam Thielen provides the veteran presence a young team needs. Seeing as the Panthers don\u2019t have a realistic shot at the playoffs, they\u2019re better off giving their young talent as much experience as possible.<\/p>\n
