The Houston Texans cut ties with the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver

The Houston Texans have cut former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson. The Texans claimed Johnson off waivers after the Baltimore Ravens released him in Week 16. The Ravens cut Johnson after he refused to enter the team’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He was upset about his role and the lack of snaps.

The same thing seems to have happened in Houston. He had just one catch in their game against the Los Angeles Chargers, and after the game he seemed visibly upset. A lot of that seems to come down to his role, which Johnson believes should be bigger.

Now, Johnson will be a free agent this season, which has pretty much destroyed his value. Since week 8, he has just four receptions. The Carolina Panthers quickly moved on from him after the Steelers traded him in March.

Johnson was drafted by the team in the 2019 NFL Draft and spent five seasons with the team before they traded him. He was in the final year of a two-year contract this year. Now he hopes he can find a new team in the off-season.
