Titans-Jets deal tightens Cowboys' 2026 draft plans

A Titans-Jets blockbuster swap of T'Vondre Sweat for Jermaine Johnson sharpens the Cowboys’ 2026 NFL Draft focus: Jets are positioned to take Ohio State LB/edge Arvell Reese at No. 2, while Tennessee likely targets Miami DL Rueben Bain; Bain’s arm-length concerns could trigger a slide that Dallas hoped to capitalize on, though Reese isn’t expected to fall to No. 12. Johnson’s injury history also factors into the equation. With top targets likely gone by Dallas’s pick, the Cowboys should brace for a far more narrowed board and pivot to other options and free-agent avenues.

Jets land Sweat in Johnson trade, reshaping their defense

The New York Jets agreed to trade defensive end Jermaine Johnson to the Tennessee Titans for defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat; the deal is pending physicals and cannot be finalized until the start of the 2026 league year on March 11. Johnson, 27, leaves New York after four seasons and will reunite with former Jets coach Robert Saleh in Tennessee. Sweat, 24, adds interior run-stopping depth on a rookie deal. The Jets save about $13.4 million in cap space, while Sweat’s cap hit remains modest through 2026, and New York is expected to pursue additional edge-rush help in free agency and the draft.

"Jermaine Johnson's Impact on the NY Jets and 5 Key Questions for the Rest of the Season"

Jermaine Johnson, the forgotten first-round pick of the New York Jets, is starting to make a name for himself in his second season. After a slow start as a pass rusher, Johnson has shown significant improvement in recent games, recording 14 pressures and three sacks over the past three weeks. His performance has elevated the Jets' pass rush, making them one of the most dominant in the league. While consistency is key, Johnson's recent play suggests he has the potential to become a star player. If he can maintain his current level of performance, it would greatly benefit the Jets' defense and solidify the 2022 draft class as one of the best in history.

"Potential Aaron Rodgers Trade Targets for Packers and Jets"

The Green Bay Packers could potentially ask for second-year edge rusher Jermaine Johnson instead of a first-round pick in a trade with the New York Jets for Aaron Rodgers. Johnson was a first-round talent in the 2022 NFL Draft and showed potential in his rookie year with 2.5 sacks, five quarterback hits, three tackles for loss, and a safety. The Packers need more pass-rush depth, and Johnson could be a perfect complement to their current roster.
