WR Dionante Johnson to start stint with Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns signed wide receiver Diontae Johnson to a one-year, no-guarantee veteran minimum deal on Monday, 2025-05-05, in Berea, Ohio.
Johnson joins the Browns after a tumultuous 2024 season where four teams, including the Steelers, Panthers, Ravens, and Texans, released him due to on-field struggles and locker room issues.
During 2024, Johnson saw limited playing time across Carolina, Baltimore, and Houston, cumulatively logging career lows with 33 receptions and 375 yards amid dissatisfaction with usage and targets.
Johnson, 28, previously made the Pro Bowl in 2021 with 107 receptions and eight touchdowns and has 28 career touchdown catches, but he must prove himself and improve his conduct to stay on the roster.
The Browns view Johnson as a valuable addition behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman to help revive their scoring offense, but his future depends on demonstrating effort and maintaining professionalism.
