Team Guy: Diontae Johnson Reportedly Threw A Fit In The Locker Room About His Role After The Texans Playoff Win, Waived 3 Days Later
Diontae Johnson is in consideration for the weirdest season we've seen in a long time. He started on the Panthers. Hell, he even looked good for a few weeks there! Had a 4 week stretch where he had 306 yards, 3 touchdowns and 24 catches. Then he gets traded to the Ravens. Guess what happened there?
Basically was pissed off he wasn't getting touches, threw a fit, got suspended and then cut. Texans took a chance on him. He played two games, they won a playoff game, before this:
I'm actually impressed that he just keeps doing it. It's almost harder not to change and just keep throwing fits, going to different teams than just accepting your role. Remember, this was what the Texans locker room looked like:
Guys feeling good, you survived the Wild Card weekend and get a chance at the Chiefs. People celebrating since everyone assumed the Chargers wouldn't fuck up and win pretty easily. Then there was Diontae Johnson having to be calmed down by other players because he was throwing a fit. Typically I'd say that's WR1 material, but it's just more Steeler behavior. Look at the Steelers run of Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell, George Pickens, Diontae Johnson recently. Yikes. Real question is what team takes a shot next thinking they can make it work? Everyone is saying the Chiefs, but they finally got some of their guys back. Commanders need some wide receiver help, what can hurt there?
