Diontae Johnson is headed back to the AFC North, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

The Baltimore Ravens are acquiring the wide receiver from the Carolina Panthers, according to NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.  This per sources informed of the situation.

The trade is a pick-swap, with Baltimore sending a 2025 fifth-round pick to Carolina for Johnson and a sixth-rounder. It's a surprisingly cheap price to pay for the Ravens to add a receiving weapon.

The move bolsters an already dangerous Baltimore offense, which has shredded defenses through the air and on the ground through eight weeks.

Johnson, a former Pittsburgh Steeler, teams up with Lamar Jackson, Zay Flowers, Derrick Henry, Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely in a pick-your-poison offense. Johnson's ability on the outside should help open things up for the shifty Flowers and give Jackson a field-stretching and back-shoulder boundary weapon. He's an immediate upgrade over Rashod Bateman and ensures the Ravens' depth should injuries strike.
