Overview

  • Diontae Johnson has officially signed a one-year contract with the Cleveland Browns following a visit to the team on Monday.
  • Johnson, 28, is coming off a turbulent 2024 season, during which he played for three different teams—Carolina, Baltimore, and Houston—with limited production.
  • The Browns opted not to draft a wide receiver in the 2025 NFL Draft, prompting the acquisition of Johnson to strengthen their receiving lineup.
  • Johnson will join Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman in Cleveland's receiving corps, offering veteran experience and potential upside.
  • Once a Pro Bowl selection in 2021 with the Steelers, Johnson seeks to revive his career in Cleveland after a challenging year on and off the field.
