Johnson, 28, now returns to the AFC North after spending half a season with the Panthers. In seven games with Carolina this season, Johnson racked up 30 receptions for 357 yards and three touchdowns.

Johnson was traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Panthers last offseason. He had spent the first five years of his career with the Steelers, where he made one All-Pro Second Team and one Pro Bowl.

Johnson was drafted in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Toledo. He improved in each of his first three seasons and broke out in year three, catching 107 passes for 1,161 yards and eight touchdowns, all career highs that still stand.
