Overview

• 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.
