Maybe he thinks he’s cooler than the other side of the pillow, but the team won’t do that lose sleep in his absence.
Instead, the Ravens should focus on developing rookie wide receiver Devontez Walker and playing reserve Tylan Wallace more often.
TYLAN WALLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken Both Walker and Wallace were in the starting lineup, but Walker didn’t play much all season. Could that change in the coming weeks?
Wallace had a big play against the Cincinnati Bengals on November 7th and could be a viable target for quarterback Lamar Jackson on under throws. Walker, on the other hand, has more volume and could work to shut down the top of the defense in vertical route concepts.
Johnson was never neededyet the Ravens have become too idealistic in their approach, assuming Johnson was humble enough to be used moderately. Instead, Johnson’s gesture suggests he may not have been the player the Ravens needed when they acquired him.
Hopefully the Ravens will again use personnel packages with 12 and 21 players more frequently on offense. Instead of saturating the field with three wide receiver sets, Monken should focus on using tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely and pairing them with two wide receiver sets that force the defense to use more man coverage to play.
Diontae Johnson was suspended one game for refusing to attend the Ravens’ Week 12 game against Philly 😮

Ultimately, Walker and Wallace have just as much talent as Johnson, and it’s time for the Ravens coaching staff to get out of their way.
