Former Jets defensive end posted the following social media message to Jets fans after being traded to the Tennessee Titans.
> New York, thank you for everything truly. The love I’ve been shown here for the past 4-5 years has been nothing short of amazing, both on and off the field. Y’all will always hold a special place in my heart. Wish all of my former coaches and former teammates the best!! Thank all of y’all for sharing a battlefield with me. 11 out
Johnson was a fan favorite player during his four year tenure with the team. It’s a shame things didn’t work out. I can understand the Jets moving on. Jermaine looked like he lost something in 2025 returning from an Achilles injury. With a cap hit this year of over $13 million, free agency looming, and a chance to add a quality run stopper in T’Vondre Sweat, this deal makes sense from a Jets perspective.
Now Jermaine gets a fresh start with a coach he knows well.
