PITTSBURGH — Diontae Johnson got his deal. After a week-long hold-in at the Pittsburgh Steelers' training camp, the wide receiver and team reached a two-year extension that averages $18.355 million per year, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Kimberley Martin.

The deal, worth up to $39.5 million if he reaches incentives, includes $27 million guaranteed. Johnson, who is in the final year of his rookie contract, will become a free agent in 2025.

Johnson, 26, was the final remaining hold-in of the 2019 wide receiver draft class after both Deebo Samuel and DK Metcalf got extensions earlier in training camp.

Days before agreeing to the extension, general manager Omar Khan reiterated the team wanted Johnson to remain a Steeler. «We want Diontae, and we're excited to have Diontae as part of this team,» Khan said Tuesday. «We hope he's going to be a Steeler for a long time.» Johnson, who reported to training camp on time, has been participating in individual drills and working one-on-one with a staffer during team periods.
