One former member of the Pittsburgh Steelers seems to have not enjoyed his time in the division as a member of the Baltimore Ravens.
Pittsburgh traded former Pro Bowler wide receiver Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers ahead of the 2024 season. He logged 30 catches and 357 receiving yards across the first seven games of the season. Johnson also racked up three touchdowns before being traded to the Ravens.

Hopefully, he can put up some bigger numbers with Houston.
