Trumaine Johnson's $72.5 million deal one of biggest in Jets history

For the second time in four years, the New York Jets are doling out a top-of-the-market contract for a cornerback. This time, it's Trumaine Johnson, whose whopper of a deal is similar in value to that of the Darrelle Revis blockbuster in 2015.

Johnson, who agreed to terms Tuesday, is expected to sign a five-year, $72.5 million contract that includes $34 million in fully guaranteed money, plus another $11 million in injury guarantees, according to a source.

The contract will become official after 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, the start of the 2018 league year.
