The ugly marriage between the Baltimore Ravens and Diontae Johnson is over.
The Ravens acquired Johnson in October hoping to shake up their already solid offense.
Johnson did just the opposite and the team fired him on Friday.
The exchange was a disaster from the beginning. In his first game with the team, Johnson had only one reception for six yards. That turned out to be the only trap he had with the team.

The Ravens suspended Johnson earlier this month, saying he refused to play against the Philadelphia Eagles. Earlier this week, the Ravens excused him from practice.
Surely, Johnson had to be relieved to be traded from the lowly Carolina Panthers to a team that is a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Now he appears to be on the hunt for his third team in as many months.

Johnson played only four games for the Ravens.
The Ravens host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, so it says a lot that the Ravens gave up on him about 24 hours before an AFC North rivalry game that could determine playoff seeding.
Baltimore didn't lose much in the initial trade, giving up a fifth-round pick.
Johnson's role in Todd Monken's offense was questioned before the loss to the Eagles and again after he sat out a game when Rashod Bateman suffered a knee injury.
