Jets Hold Johnson, Decline Hall Deal as Suitors Balk at Prices

Firm valuations under the new regime emphasized Day 2 draft returns over deadline discounts.

Overview

  • The Jets kept edge rusher Jermaine Johnson after declining at least one offer that included a second-round pick, per SNY’s Connor Hughes.
  • The 49ers and Bears explored trades for Johnson; Chicago pivoted to Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and San Francisco chose not to part with draft capital.
  • Kansas City offered a fourth-round pick for Breece Hall, but New York held out for a third and no agreement was reached.
  • Hall posted and then deleted a message saying he was “sick” after New York’s deadline-day moves, reflecting visible frustration around the roster shakeup.
  • Earlier in the day, the Jets traded Sauce Gardner to the Colts and Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys as part of a reset focused on accumulating draft picks.
