Report: Steelers open to trade offers for Diontae Johnson

The Pittsburgh Steelers are willing to listen to trade offers for wide receiver Diontae Johnson, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic.

Teams are interested in acquiring the veteran wideout, Russini adds.

Johnson has been with the team since it selected him with the No. 66 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. He's entering the final season of a two-year, $36.1-million extension signed in 2022. Johnson is scheduled to have a $15.8-million cap hit in 2024, according to Over The Cap.

The 27-year-old missed four contests last season after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 1. He finished the year with 51 catches for 717 yards and five touchdowns.

Johnson led the Steelers in targets and receiving yards from 2020-22. His best season came in 2021 when he totaled 107 catches for 1,161 yards and eight touchdowns.

The former Pro Bowler reportedly chirped at the Steelers' coaches and got into a heated argument with teammate Minkah Fitzpatrick following a Week 11 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

Johnson has 391 receptions for 4,363 yards and 25 touchdowns in 77 career games.
