‘In Doubt’ About Diontae Johnson’s Future With The Steelers
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are heading into the 2024 season with two top-tier wide receivers, but one may be on his way out because of a contract issue. According to Trib Live’s Mark Madden, Diontae Johnson’s future with the team is “in doubt” as he enters the final year of his deal.
Johnson is set to make $15.8 million this upcoming season, which is the last of the three-year deal he signed with Pittsburgh. According to Madden, Johnson could consider holding in, looking for a new deal with the team.
“I’ve heard Diontae Johnson’s future is in doubt,” Madden said on the Breakfast With Benz podcast. “I’ve heard whispers he plans to have a hold-in again, like he did two years ago, because we’re going into the last year of his contract, and he’s going to make noise over Pickett at quarterback. I’m not a Diontae fan. I think he’s mediocre, and they pay them way too much. But if you’re gonna get rid of him because he’s not a Pickett guy? I mean, come on.”
