Johnson was disgruntled during his stint with the Ravens, earning a suspension for refusing to enter a game and ultimately getting waived by Baltimore. The Texans were Johnson's fourth team in the span of a calendar year, dating back to his time with the Steelers.

Some players in the NFL had a rollercoaster of a season in 2024. Diontae Johnson was a runaway mine cart in the dark with people screaming at every turn. Johnson was cut by the Texans on Tuesday, which should end his season barring something dramatic happening.

In a surprise move, the Texans waived the veteran wide receiver just three weeks after claiming him off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens. He’s an impending free agent after the year, so only a team remaining in the playoffs could claim him for a run to New Orleans.
