Staying true to his word, Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan was active on the first day of free agency. And among the Green & White’s multiple signings was the acquisition of a big-ticket cornerback in Trumaine Johnson.
“The last two years, I’ve been tagged," Johnson said. "It’s my first time going through this process. It’s quite an experience. You lose sleep and your agent is calling you every five minutes. But it worked out and I’m happy to be a Jet.”
The 6’2”, 213-pound Johnson played his first six professional seasons with the Rams, recording 18 interceptions — three of which he returned for touchdowns — along with 67 pass defenses.
