The Tennessee Titans have made a strategic move by acquiring former Florida State standout Jermaine Johnson from the New York Jets. In a swap reported by NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero, the Titans sent nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat to the Jets. This trade reunites Johnson with Titans head coach Robert Saleh, who initially drafted him during his tenure with the Jets in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Johnson, now 27, is approaching the final year of his rookie contract. His impressive resume includes a Pro Bowl selection in 2023 and a solid record of 13 sacks over 47 games in four seasons. Beyond sacks, Johnson has contributed 131 tackles, forced a fumble, recovered another, and even snagged an interception he returned for a touchdown.
This deal is set to be finalized with the commencement of the new league year on March 11th. For the Titans, bringing Johnson into the fold could be a game-changer, adding depth and experience to their defensive lineup.
Meanwhile, the Jets will look to bolster their defensive front with the addition of Sweat. Keep an eye on how this trade shapes both teams as the new season approaches.
