In the midst of the New York Jets' franchise-changing fire sale, the one player rumored to be on the block that was thought to yield the greatest return stayed put. For weeks, Jermaine Johnson found himself at the center of trade rumors, yet after all the wheeling and dealing, he ended up staying put.

The chances of the Jets moving Johnson always seemed low, despite him being named as one of the earliest trade candidates not named Breece Hall.
