CALDWELL -- It's clear the Jets have high hopes for their new center, Wesley Johnson.
After all, they cut longtime center Nick Mangold earlier this offseason, and then they didn't sign a big-name free agent center, or draft an offensive lineman at all.
So they're rolling with Johnson as their starter, with low-profile free agent acquisition Jonotthan Harrison as the likely backup. Johnson, a fourth-year pro, has nine career starts, including eight last season, when Mangold hurt his ankle.
Johnson took it as a vote of confidence, from the Jets, when they didn't draft or sign a prominent center after cutting Mangold.
