Diontae Johnson, Most Likely WR Trade Candidate Ahead Of Deadline
16 seconds agoAccording to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Carolina Panthers have received multiple calls about wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ribs) and his availability ahead of the Nov. 5 trade deadline. Reportedly, the Panthers are looking to receive a mid-round draft pick as compensation for the 28-year-old wideout. Per Schefter, he and Jacksonville Jaguars WR Christian Kirk are the hottest names on the market, and "it wouldn't be a surprise to see at least one of -- and possibly both" traded. We've already seen three top-flight wide receivers shipped off to contending teams thus far, and according to Schefter, "more trades are expected." Johnson has been ruled out for Week 8 due to a rib injury that forced him to miss the week of practice, and it's apparently highly likely he joins a new squad before the deadline. Stay tuned.
