PITTSBURGH — The Steelers are trading away wide receiver Diontae Johnson, according to multiple reports.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, ESPN reporter Adam Schefter said the Steelers are trading Johnson to the Panthers.

NFL Insider Tom Pelissero says it’s a full trade. He reports the Steelers get cornerback Donte Jackson and pick 178, while the Panthers get Diontae Johnson and pick 240.

Johnson was entering the final season of his contract with the Steelers.

Our partners at Sports Now Group Pittsburgh report the Steelers showed interest in top receivers in the NFL Combine, which led to speculation about Johnson’s future. Last week, the outlet reported the Steelers were listening to offers on a potential Johnson trade.

This is a developing story that Channel 11 will update as we learn more.
