Jets Sign WR Tyler Johnson and CB Kris Boyd in Free Agency

The moves aim to bolster depth on both sides of the ball, with Johnson adding potential at wide receiver and Boyd reinforcing special teams.

Tyler Johnson, a 26-year-old wide receiver and former fifth-round pick, joins the Jets on a one-year deal after stints with multiple NFL teams, including the Rams and Buccaneers.
Johnson has 76 career receptions for 828 yards and four touchdowns, with notable strengths in yards after catch and contested catches.
The Jets’ wide receiver room, led by Garrett Wilson, has limited depth, and Johnson is expected to compete for snaps with potential changes to Allen Lazard's contract status looming.
Kris Boyd, a cornerback and special teams contributor, also signed with the Jets after playing for teams like the Vikings, Cardinals, and Texans, where he excelled as a gunner.
Boyd has 105 career tackles and brings experience in both defensive and special teams roles, despite a controversial playoff moment last year involving a coach altercation.
