New York Jets: Trumaine Johnson must have a bounce-back year in 2019

When the New York Jets signed Trumaine Johnson to a five-year $72.5 million contract prior to the start of the 2018 season, the organization had hoped that the University of Montana product could be the true No. 1 corner that the team was looking for.

Unfortunately, that did not turn out to be the case.

Despite showing signs that he could indeed perform at that high level in recent years, Johnson had a down year, to say the least. Aside from dealing with injuries that forced him to miss multiple games, Johnson totaled only 40 tackles, one forced fumble, and four interceptions.
