Jermaine Johnson’s parting words to Jets fans

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.
