Johnson is coming off a career season in which he set new personal bests for receptions (107), receiving yards (1,161) and touchdowns (8).

The former Toledo standout was selected by Pittsburgh at No. 66 overall in the third-round of the 2019 NFL Draft and was selected as a second-team All-Pro punt returner, recording 248 yards and a touchdown on 20 attempts during his rookie season.

Johnson is the latest in a line of young receivers that have received big extensions this offseason.

On Monday (August 1), Deebo Samuel officially signed a three-year contract extension worth up to $73.5 million with the San Francisco 49ers.

All-Pro receiver Davante Adams signed a five-year deal worth up to $142.5 million (including $67.5 million guaranteed and an annual average of $28.5 million paid) upon being acquired by the Las Vegas Raiders in a trade with the Green Bay Packers last month.

Adams' deal was the largest contract given to a non-quarterback in NFL history, prior to Tyreek Hill signing a four-year, $120 million deal with the Miami Dolphins after being acquired in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs one week after Adams' trade.

Hill's contract includes a record $30 million annual salary, as well as $72.2 million guaranteed and $52.535 million at signing, ESPN reports.

Other notable offseason wide receiver deals include Stefon Diggs' four-year, $104 million extension with the Buffalo Bills; Christian Kirk signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars for four years, $72 million; Mike Williams re-signing with the Los Angeles Chargers for three years, $60 million; Chris Godwin re-signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for three years, $60 million; and A.J Brown signed a four-year, $100 million extension upon being acquired by the Philadelphia Eagles in a trade with the Tennessee Titans; and Terry McLaurin signed a three-year deal extension with the Washington Commanders worth up to $70 million.
