The Ravens have claimed Johnson off waivers from the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Schefter, the transaction is a procedural move in that Johnson won't officially be awarded to the Ravens until after the Super Bowl, and thus won't be a postseason option for the team. Beyond that, Johnson will be in line to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and, if he catches on with another team, his signing would factor into Baltimore's compensatory draft pick formula. In 12 regular season games (seven with Carolina, four with Baltimore and one with Houston), Johnson recorded a 33/375/3 receiving line on 67 targets.
I guess they're trying to recoup some of the value they paid for him getting a possible compensatory pick. Can't see a hot market for him, one year prove it deal is the best he can expect.
