As reported earlier today, the New York Jets had quarterback Josh Johnson in for a workout this afternoon and apparently they liked what they saw.
The team opted to waive rookie signal caller Jake Heaps in favor of Johnson who was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL draft.
