Amid all of the wide receiver dealing leading up to the trade deadline, the one name to watch now appears to be Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson and not Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp.
Appearing on Thursday’s episode of Get Up, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said the Panthers veteran could be more “desirable” to teams than Kupp due to age and contract status for both players:
“The guy to watch is Diontae Johnson. And as good as Cooper Kupp is, he might be the most desirable receiver out there because of his age, because his contract has only $3.5 million of money left this year. His contract is up after this year. They’ve gotten calls. This is a deal that I think is easier to get done. Carolina is open to listening. He will be a name to watch.”
