Titans add Jermaine Johnson as under-the-radar Pro Bowl player

Summary

The Tennessee Titans have acquired EDGE rusher Jermaine Johnson II in a player-for-player trade ahead of the 2026 season. Johnson, a former Pro Bowl selection, reunites with head coach Robert Saleh, who will implement a new defensive scheme after last season's struggles. With the Titans allowing 28.1 points per game in 2025, the team is focused on bolstering its defense. Johnson is expected to play a significant role in the Titans' defensive lineup alongside Jeffery Simmons and John Franklin-Myers. Training camp is set to begin soon, providing an opportunity for new players to adapt to the system.
