The Ravens suspended Johnson earlier this month, saying he refused to play against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Ravens banned him from practice earlier this week.
Of course, Johnson must be relieved that he was traded from the lowly Carolina Panthers to a true Super Bowl contender. Now, he appears to be looking for a third team in as many months.
