Reports have now surfaced that the NY Jets will be cutting cornerback Trumaine Johnson. The details of this move are yet to be determined, but the Jets are waiting to determine if the new Collective Bargaining Agreement is ratified or not.
If it’s approved, the franchise will have the option to spread out Johnson’s $12 million cap hit over the next two years. If not, they will be forced to take the entire cap hit this season.
The Jets did not have a particularly effective secondary last year. They allowed 236.
