Trumaine Johnson's time with the New York Jets is over, in a surprise to absolutely no one.
just two years ago, they thought they were getting one of the best available cornerbacks on the market and their lock-down answer on the outside.
Instead, they got an underperforming player who was burned repeatedly, committed brutal penalties in key spots, couldn't stay healthy and became a distraction off the field. He was benched during the final game of his first season for tardiness and early in his second season for poor play. In the end, Johnson played only 17 games in two seasons for the Jets, while collecting $34 million. Yes, that's $2 million per game.
And while he's gone, he certainly will not be forgotten. By moving on, the Jets might save only $3 million and carry $12 million of dead money into next season if the CBA stays the same. Under a new CBA, theyThe Jets also remain remarkably thin at cornerback, with no proven starting outside corners on the roster -- something they'll have to address in free agency, when they hope that their next cornerback signing will go much better than this one. It would be hard to do worse.
