NFL followers have their say as Diontae Johnson skips Browns’ voluntary OTAs

A once-prized NFL broad receiver isn’t making a terrific early impression along with his new membership. Diontae Johnson joined the Cleveland Browns in late April on a one-year contract for $1.17 million in hopes of turning his profession round. The previous Second-team All-Professional has determined to skip the Browns Organised Group Actions (OTAs), which, for some fan,s was not a shock.

@tristalkball stated on X:

“Are we shocked?”

“Naw he a bum,” stated @soluruca4merceds.

“You aren’t within the place to skip these bro,” tweeted @OTLFFootball.

Since being traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Carolina Panthers in 2024, Johnson’s profession has taken a dramatic flip for the more severe.

He finally joined the Baltimore Ravens however refused to enter their Week 13 sport in opposition to the Philadelphia Eagles. The membership suspended him that season for conduct that they deemed detrimental to the group.

@NEEDivSNEAD on X stated:

“Idk why anybody is shocked. This dude received lower from 3 groups final 12 months. Dudes will present you in the event that they love soccer or not.”

“No surprise he’s been on 4 completely different groups recently,” tweeted @PARobert.

In the meantime, @DividendInves11 stated:

“I feel that is the top for him. He must be on skinny ice already.”

After 5 seasons in Pittsburgh, the place his worst statistical season was 680 receiving yards, Johnson was traded to the Carolina Panthers in 2024, showing in seven video games for them and accumulating 357 yards via the air.

In October of that 12 months, the Baltimore Ravens acquired him, however he was waived by the group shortly after refusing to play in a sport in opposition to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Houston Texans claimed him off waivers in December however let him go in January 2025.

Baltimore claimed him once more, although he wasn’t eligible to play the remainder of the marketing campaign, and he was formally launched after the Buffalo Payments eradicated them.

Analyst is irate about Johnson skipping OTAs

Whereas Johnson isn’t the primary participant to forego OTA his refusal to take part isn’t going over properly with one analyst.

Kenny Mac from “The Dawgs” podcast stated by way of Yarkbarker on Monday:

“The man I’m extra involved about is and it’s considered one of our weakest positions, and it’s Diontae Johnson.”

“You’re coming in new and you’ve got a one-year contract, a prove-it contract and also you’re not there, that simply boggles my thoughts.”

Outdoors Jerry Jeudy, who put up 1,229 yards receiving in 2024, the Browns didn’t do a lot in that division final season. Elijah Moore was their next-best receiver with 538 yards receiving.
