The and have reportedly pulled off a trade. According to , the Titans are sending defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat to the Jets in exchange for edge rusher Jermaine Johnson. "Trade: the New York Jets are sending DE Jermaine Johnson to the Tenne see Titans in exchange for DT T'Vondre Sweat, per ESPN sources," Jacoby Windmon Jersey Schefter reported. Schefter adds that the trade cannot be made official until the start of the new league year, which falls on March. Why Sweat-Johnson trade happened The Jets unloaded Quinnen Williams in a trade with the last offseason that left the team with a gaping hole up the middle. Sweat is a space-eater who commands double-teams that can free up his teammates and is a force against the run while also being a plus pa s-rusher. In 2025, the former-second round pick posted an elite 83.4 overall grade, which ranked fifth among interior defensive linemen. He ranked fourth in run defense grade and 19th in pa s-rush grade. Meanwhile, the cupboard was bare at edge rusher in Tenne see and Johnson gives the Titans some much-needed firepower at the position. In his first season back from a torn Achilles, Johnson posted three sacks and 35 pre sures. Johnson's best season came in 2023, when he earned a Pro Bowl nod following a campaign that saw him tally a career-high 7.5 sacks. There's reason to believe better days are ahead for Johnson the further removed he is from the injury. When it comes to their respective contracts, Johnson is in the final year of his deal, which likely contributed to New York's willingne s to deal him. As for Sweat, he has two more years left on his deal. We would gue s the Titans valuing EDGE over interior defensive line was a major sticking point in their willingne s to deal Sweat. Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky adds that it's po sible the Titans in Robert Saleh's scheme, which could have also led to their willingne s to trade him. More NFL News Chandler Zavala Jersey
