The Tennessee Titans are acquiring former first-round pass rusher Jermaine Johnson from the New York Jets in exchange for defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat, multiple media outlets reported on Thursday.

The reported trade cannot become official until the first day of the new league year on March 11.

Johnson, 27, will rejoin former Jets head coach and new Titans boss Robert Saleh. He recorded 43 tackles and three sacks in 14 games (13 starts) last season after tearing an Achilles two games into the 2024 campaign.

A Pro Bowl selection in 2023, Johnson has totaled 131 tackles and 13.0 sacks in 47 career games (32 starts) since being selected by the Jets with the 26th overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Sweat, 24, had 34 tackles in 12 games (all starts) last season with the Titans.

He has totaled 85 tackles and three sacks in 29 career games (28 starts) since being selected by Tennessee in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
