The wide receiver, who also expected to receive an offer from the Oakland Raiders, is expected to announce his decision at a Wednesday afternoon news conference at his alma mater of USC, his agent, Jerome Stanley, told ESPN.com's John Clayton.

Johnson will pursue a broadcasting career with ESPN.

"Following Keyshawn's retirement announcement we plan an announcement on his joining ESPN," the network said Wednesday.

"The timing of it was just right," Stanley said of Johnson's decision. "There were a couple of slots open in broadcasting. He was either going to retire this year or next year, but the timing just turned out to be right now."

I would have loved for him to finish his career as a Panther after the upcoming season.

Yeah, I was hoping we finish his career a Panther.
I guess he thought he was worth more than what the Titans and the Raiders were offering him. Which was probably the vet min.

It was two years 8 million nearly all guaranteed.
