The Baltimore Ravens obtained wide receiver Diontae Johnson from the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.

As part of the deal, the Ravens will surrender their fifth-round pick in the 2025 draft and also receive the Panthers' sixth-round pick.

Johnson, who is 28 years old, has recorded 30 catches for 357 yards and three touchdowns in seven games this season. This is his first season with the Panthers after spending his first five with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Panthers acquired Johnson from the Steelers in a trade on March 13.

Johnson currently leads the Panthers (1-7) in receptions, receiving yards, and targets (58).

Since being drafted by the Steelers in the third round in 2019 from Toledo, Johnson has played in 84 games (74 starts) and has recorded 421 receptions for 4,720 yards and 28 touchdowns. He was selected for the Pro Bowl in 2021.

The Ravens (5-3) have scored the most points in the NFL this season with 242, but are one game behind the Steelers in the AFC North. The Panthers have only scored 124 points, which is the second-lowest in the NFC (behind the New York Giants with 117 points).
