The New York Jets want to move past Aaron Rodgers’ departure and are slowly starting to think about the upcoming NFL season. To that end, along with the arrival of Justin Fields as their new quarterback, they have already secured the addition of another offensive piece, in this case, a former Super Bowl champion.
The news is that Tyler Johnson, former wide receiver for the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the NCAAF, has reached an agreement with the Jets and has become a new weapon for Fields heading into the upcoming NFL season.
This was reported by Jets Media, who, through their official X (formerly Twitter) account @NYJets_Media, announced the arrival of the offensive player, with his most recent stop being with the Los Angeles Rams under Sean McVay.
“The New York Jets SIGN WR Tyler Johnson (Per @AaronWilson_NFL),” it was reported through social media.
Despite arriving in the NFL in 2020, the wide receiver has already had stints with several franchises in the league, including the Buccaneers, Texans, Raiders, Rams, and now the Jets.
Johnson already knows what it’s like to win a Super Bowl
The New York Jets are setting their sights on becoming a serious contender in the AFC East, and to do so, they are strengthening their roster with talented players, including those who already know what it’s like to win a Super Bowl.
This is the case with Tyler Johnson, who, at the beginning of 2021, was crowned champion alongside the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, under Tom Brady and Bruce Arians.
At that time, the Bucs defeated none other than Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs 31-9, thus securing the LV edition of this important NFL trophy.
Another important player joins the Jets
Tyler Johnson’s arrival isn’t the only one confirmed in recent hours for the Jets. In this case, a cornerback has joined Aaron Glenn’s team, coming from none other than the Houston Texans.
“Jets agreed to deal with former #Texans corner Kris Boyd, a key special-teams contributor @KPRC2,” the information was reported via social media.
Boyd comes off playing all 17 games with the Houston Texans, playing a key role in DeMeco Ryan’s team. His involvement with the Jets is also expected to be active.
