Johnson, el rusher de los Jets, no anticipa un intercambio

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — New York Jets edge rusher Jermaine Johnson, the subject of trade speculation, doesn’t expect to go anywhere.

Johnson said Thursday that he received «clarity» from the front office.

«I’m definitely wanted here, and I want to stay here,» he told ESPN. «That’s been understood. Hence the tweet.»

On Wednesday, Johnson posted a GIF from «The Wolf of Wall Street,» quoting a line from the movie: «I’m not leavin’.»

Sauce Gardner and wide receiver Garrett Wilson, already have received long-term extensions.

Johnson, 26, is one of the Jets’ better defensive players. He posted a career-high 7.5 sacks in 2023 and made the Pro Bowl as an injury replacement. He missed three games this season with an ankle injury, but helped spark the defense with his return two weeks ago. The Jets have allowed only 26 points over the last two games.
