Johnson, previously with the Pittsburgh Steelers, brings his elite route-running and playmaking abilities to a Panthers team hungry for success.
The deal, announced today, signifies the Panthers’ commitment to enhancing their receiving corps and providing quarterback Bryce Young with a reliable target.

In his four seasons with the Steelers, Johnson racked up over 4,000 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns, establishing himself as a dependable option in high-pressure situations. His addition to the Panthers’ roster is expected to complement their young offensive core, including standout wide receiver Adam Thielen and promising rookie Jonathan Mingo.
Panthers’ head coach Frank Reich expressed his enthusiasm about the acquisition: “Diontae is a proven talent and a true professional. His work ethic and skill set will undoubtedly make an immediate impact on our team.”
Fans have taken to social media to celebrate the signing, with hopes that Johnson’s arrival will reignite the Panthers’ playoff aspirations. All eyes will now be on his debut, as the team gears up for its next big game.
Welcome to Carolina, Diontae Johnson! The Panthers just got a whole lot more dangerous.
