Jermaine Johnson, a former 2022 first round New York Jets draft pick, was traded to the Tennessee Titans for T’Vondre Sweat. Sweat only a 2024 second-round pick scored big time in this trade. Even though the Jets are not highly secure in edge rushers, Aaron Glenn will have plenty of restocking to do with the Jets popular defense.
New York has always played it safe when its come to the defense of the city. Glenn, Bowles, Ryan, Saleh all being defensive minds, this is the blossoming opportunity to acquire back a huge bolt of potential.
The DT depth is safe and sound with Sweat finishing well as a run stopper. Sweat adds to what faces the Jets long-term future.
As for Johnson, he enables himself to reconnect with former coach Saleh. Saleh will have every right to feel passionate and strong about his job further in Tennessee.
Johnson also contributed on special teams and was vocal in the protection of the kicker. When it all comes down to it, the Jets won the huge trade because it shows Tennessee is in it for the short haul of reestablishing Cam Ward in a sloppy team performance of his rookie season.
