When the Houston Texans signed wide receiver Diontae Johnson toward the very end of the 2024 regular season, they thought they were adding a potentially big piece for their playoff run. In the end, Johnson did not exactly fit in, as he logged just two catches for 12 yards in one regular-season game before being released after the Texans' Wild Card Round win over the Los Angeles Chargers . Not surprisingly, the 28-year-old remained unsigned for quite a while in free agency due to his persistent attitude problems, but he has finally found a home , signing with the Cleveland Browns , via Mike Garafolo of NFL media.

Johnson joins a Browns receiving corps that absolutely needed to add some depth behind Jerry Jeudy, so perhaps he will be able to carve out a role in Cleveland. However, it's surely not lost on the Browns that Johnson played for three different teams this past year, amassing a grand total of 33 catches for 375 yards and three touchdowns in 12 regular-season contests between the Carolina Panthers , Baltimore Ravens and Texans. Of course, the former third-round pick is most known for his five-year tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers to begin his NFL career, where he actually made a Pro Bowl in 2021 after hauling in 107 receptions for 1,161 yards and eight touchdowns.

That represents the only 1,000-yard campaign of his professional tenure, as Johnson has been unable to stamp his name among the upper echelon of NFL receivers. We'll see if the Toledo product can re-establish himself as a legitimate weapon for the Browns.
