Jermaine Johnson's Full Circle Moment with Titans

On March 16th, Edd Russia-Dremain Johnson is starting a new chapter with the Tennessee Titans after a trade from the New York Jets.

18 months ago, he suffered a torn Achilles tendon right there at Nissan Stadium during a game against them, which forced him off the field in a...

...cart.

Now at 26 years old and the 26 overall pick from the 2022 draft, he's back in Nashville as part of the deal that's sent.

Defensive lineman Tevondre Swet to the Jets.

The trade reunites Johnson with familiar faces, including head coach Robert Sala, defensive line coach Aaron Wycotton, and former Jets teammates,

John Franklin Myers and Solomon Thomas.

He steps into a defensive system he already knows well from his time in New York, making the transition smoother than most.

Johnson sees the move as a full circle moment and a true blessing, especially after overcoming that major injury hurdle.

He's thrilled about the team's vibe and is already connected with Titan stars like Jeffrey Simmons, who reached out first after the trade news broke.

Last month, in his Jets career spanning four seasons and 47 games, Johnson racked up 131 tackles, 13 sacks, and 20 tackles.

For loss, including a pro bowl year in 2023, with seven and a half sacks.

He added three sacks this past season before the injury cut his short.

With his love for Nashville's energy, country music scene, and football fit, Johnson is all in and ready to make an immediate impact alongside his new teammates.
