Texans Release WR Diontae Johnson After Two Games
The former Pro Bowler is now seeking his fifth NFL team in a year following a tumultuous season marked by disputes and diminished playing time.
- Diontae Johnson, 28, was waived by the Houston Texans just three weeks after being claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens.
- Johnson played only two games for the Texans, recording three catches for 24 yards, including one reception in Houston's playoff win over the Chargers.
- This marks Johnson's fourth team departure in less than a year, following trades from the Steelers to the Panthers and later to the Ravens, who also released him after a suspension for refusing to play in a game.
- Johnson's frustrations over limited playing time and offensive roles reportedly contributed to tensions in Houston, as well as in his previous stints with Carolina and Baltimore.
- Once a Pro Bowl wide receiver in 2021, Johnson's stock has plummeted due to perceived attitude issues, leaving his future in the NFL uncertain as he enters free agency.
