You are probably correct. There most likely isn't enough time for Diontae for him to learn a new offensive scheme to really fully be involved. He might be involved in a small percentage of plays, but I see Schultz a bigger threat to the Ravens than Diontae and of course Nico being involved as well.
The 49ers suspended their player for the rest of the season who refused to play just recently. Unsure if their player said he wasn’t playing for the rest of the season, only that he refused to play week 15. I’d be surprised if the Ravens were handcuffed in any way if they elected to suspend Johnson the remainder of the year.
He did refuse to play, didn't he?
This is my guess.
Except he’s talented
Yeah, it’s easy to look at him doing nothing on the ravens and forget that he was playing pretty well in a bad situation in Carolina. 3 top 12 weeks out of the first 6.
They may have had an issue suspending for the full 4 games. Can't be sure but remember before SF suspended Campbell for the remaining 3 games they said they were first checking in with the league office to see their options. There could be other things Campbell did that were documented in his file. 4 games is the max but does not mean teams can suspend that long without justification, whether not entering a game is that justification I don't know.
Yeah, once the Ravens suspended him for 1 game, they couldn’t suspend him again until he had another infraction. But the Ravens could have suspended 4 games at first but they elected not to. Lamar Jackson and a few other players said they would welcome Johnson back, so that is probably one of the reasons the Ravens did only 1 game at first. Multiple 49er players spoke up right away that what Campbell did was unforgivable.
He must be jonesing for the record number of teams being traded to/cut from in one year.
His glare could probably burn a hole through even those guys, albeit clearly not forever.
Seems like his attitude was a big issue. Gave up on teams, plays, didn’t want to block
At what point does a rookie WR drafted by the Steelers ask, "wait a minute, do people think I'm crazy?"
How dare you forget Martavis Bryant?!
Value is as low as it will ever be.
What's the Raven's strategy here? I can't believe they claimed him because they're going to use him.
Maybe keep away from any other playoff team? Seems like an odd decision regardless...
I think its the bolded. Dont have to worry about KC/Det?Wash/Hou picking him up.
Comp pick
Why would they worry about Houston?
Teams don't give up comp picks to sign free agents. They get extra picks when they lose more (qualifying) free agents than they sign. Baltimore doesn't have to cut him, he's on an expiring contract and will be a free agent. That's why they claimed him - so that if anyone does sign him, he factors into the comp picks. If not the move cost them nothing. I'm shocked more teams don't know how this works and take advantage of it.
I remember going to his instagram during his suspension and he’s out partying and alcohol is everywhere.
Unless there’s more to the story, agreed.
Yep. Such a great route runner. Enjoyed his game, hopefully he turns it around.
Quite correct, I definitely misspoke.
Yes, and it's likely it amounts to very little. But it costs Baltimore literally zero to make. He makes no salary because he's not awarded until after the Superbowl. Who wouldn't take a free draft pick? For reference, Khalif Raymond's contract would be worth a 6th round pick were it in the compensatory formula for the 2024 FA cycle. Foster Moreau. Alec Ingold. That's the baseline to get a 6th. And if he can ascend to the Jauan Jennings level that could net a 5th rounder. All for the cost of zero dollars out the door. Heck yeah.
