"Johnson requested a trade entering the final year of his contract, with no extension in sight and a $3 million roster bonus due Friday. With that deadline looming, the Steelers didn't get much in the way of a return."
Assuming Kaboly is correct, Johnson is not the first Steelers wide receiver to request a trade. Antonio Brown went entirely AWOL in 2019, airing any number of grievances, almost all illegitimate or at least petty.
