Pittsburgh According to reports, the Pittsburgh Steelers are considering offers from clubs throughout the league and are willing to trade wide receiver Diontae Johnson. The Arizona Cardinals are one team that has surfaced as a contender, according to Andrew Filliponi of 93.7 The Fan.
The Cardinals have uncertainty at wide receiver since they are allowing standout wide out Marquise Brown to enter the free agency market. Due to their commitment to Kyler Murray as quarterback, the team is probably looking to trade for a seasoned veteran wide out this summer.
Source says team to watch in the Diontae Johnson trade conversation: Arizona Cardinals.
Cardinals have 11 draft picks. 6 in 1st 3 round. 3 3rd round picks.
$56 million in cap space.
Hollywood Brown is a FA. Could trade 3rd for Johnson. Extend him. And draft Marvin Harrison Jr.

Regarding compensation in the event of a Johnson trade, Filliponi mentions the plethora of draft picks that the Cardinals now possess. Arizona has six picks in the first three rounds, including three third-round picks, before they enter free agency.
Additionally, they have $56 million in cap space that they may use to pay Johnson’s $15.8 million contract this season. What the Steelers could get for Johnson is a mystery.
It appears like the market may be moving in the wrong direction after the Cleveland Browns acquired Jerry Jeudy from the Denver Broncos for a fifth-round pick; however, if Pittsburgh could secure a selection high enough, they might make the move and try to add another starter via free agency or the NFL Draft.
