Jets to Trade DE Jermaine Johnson II for Titans DT T'Vondre Sweat

The Jets trade 2023 Pro Bowler Jermaine Johnson to the Titans for 24-year-old run-stopper T'Vondre Sweat as part of ongoing roster reshaping.

  • According to ESPN, on Feb. 26, 2026, the Jets traded Jermaine Johnson to the Titans for T'Vondre Sweat, pending league paperwork in March.
  • After trading other 2022 draftees, the NFL franchise shifted toward a 3-4 base defense, prompting interest in interior defenders like Sweat.
  • Jermaine Johnson's resume shows he has 13 sacks in four seasons and made the Pro Bowl after a 7.5-sack 2023 season, while T'Vondre Sweat, 24, is a 6-4, 366-pound interior run stuffer with 34 tackles and two sacks last season.
  • The move positions the Jets to target an edge rusher with their No. pick in the 2026 draft, while Johnson reunites with Robert Saleh in Tennessee and Sweat aims to bolster the Jets' run defense.
  • Pending league processing and physical examinations, the move is influenced by the deep edge market with free agency starting on March 9, 2026, according to team sources.
