Panthers players react to trade of WR Diontae Johnson
The Carolina Panthers lost not only their leading receiver on Tuesday, but a well-respected teammate.
In what seemed like an imminent move, wideout Diontae Johnson was traded by the Panthers on Tuesday. The former Pro Bowl pass catcher is off to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for a late-round pick swap in the 2025 NFL draft.
Here's what some of Johnson's now-former teammates had to say about the move on Wednesday . . .
When asked to provide some insight into the decision, head coach Dave Canales didn't offer much.
"I'm not gonna get into too much of the specifics," Canales stated. "A lot of those conversations, we always wanna try to protect and keep in-house. But we kinda just collectively thought that was the best decision for us."
