FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- For the better part of 10 months, the New York Jets' narrative has focused on the quarterbacks. It started last fall with "Suck for Sam" and shifted to the Kirk Cousins pursuit. Then came the trade with the Colts, followed by "Luck for Sam" on draft day. Now that Sam Darnold is an employee at One Jets Drive, his development becomes storyline No. 1.
Meanwhile, we've all but forgotten about the other key addition, the player who probably will make a bigger impact than Darnold in 2018: cornerback Trumaine Johnson, he of the quietest $73 million contract in history.
