Proposed Trade Sees Steelers Ship Offensive Star to AFC Foe

The Pittsburgh Steelers could trade wide receiver Diontae Johnson during the 2024 offseason if the offer is right according to Sportskeeda’s Tony Pauline. The 33rd Team’s Marcus Mosher suggested the Buffalo Bills as a team who could make that right offer.

Mosher proposed the Steelers trading Johnson to the Bills for a third or fourth-round pick.

“One receiver who could be available is Diontae Johnson, who is in the final year of his deal in Pittsburgh,” Mosher wrote on March 7. “It’s unlikely the Pittsburgh Steelers will give him another extension, especially with George Pickens eligible for a deal in 2025.

“Johnson is one of the NFL’s best separators and would make a lot of sense with Josh Allen.”

When Pauline appeared on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, though, he was adamant that the trade compensation for Johnson would have to be a Day 2 selection. That way, the Steelers would receive at least what they would with a potential compensatory pick if Johnson left in free agency next year.

“I think they would move him for a third-round pick. I don’t think that they would take a day three selection to move him,” said Pauline on March 4.

Johnson has posted 391 receptions, 4,363 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns in five seasons with the Steelers. Last season, he recorded 51 catches, 717 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns in 13 contests.

Johnson missed four games because of a hamstring injury.

On a per game basis, Johnson was on track to reach 900-plus yards during 2023 for the third time in his career had he been healthy the entire season.
