Jets Look to Exploit Packers' Run Struggles via Sweat in Rainy Week 2 Clash

The New York Jets (1-0) host the Green Bay Packers (0-1) on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, aiming for their first 2-0 start since 2015. Analysts highlight defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat as a key weapon, noting his elite run-stuffing ability against a Packers offense that struggled with rushing in Week 1. Rain is forecast for the game, potentially favoring ground attacks, while the Jets boast the NFL's second-ranked defense. Packers coach Matt LaFleur calls the Jets a 'complete team,' and both squads face significant injury lists.

Titans-Jets deal tightens Cowboys' 2026 draft plans

A Titans-Jets blockbuster swap of T'Vondre Sweat for Jermaine Johnson sharpens the Cowboys’ 2026 NFL Draft focus: Jets are positioned to take Ohio State LB/edge Arvell Reese at No. 2, while Tennessee likely targets Miami DL Rueben Bain; Bain’s arm-length concerns could trigger a slide that Dallas hoped to capitalize on, though Reese isn’t expected to fall to No. 12. Johnson’s injury history also factors into the equation. With top targets likely gone by Dallas’s pick, the Cowboys should brace for a far more narrowed board and pivot to other options and free-agent avenues.

Jets land mammoth DT Sweat to shore up run defense

The Jets traded Jermaine Johnson to the Titans for defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat, an early-second-round pick from Texas. Sweat is a 366-pound run-stuffer who has posted strong run-defense grades (rookie 75.0, 2025 79.3) and solid pass-rush numbers (2025 grade 74.1) while boasting superb tackling (career 4.4% missed-tackle rate). After starting 28 of 29 games for Tennessee and increasingly playing nose tackle in 2025, he should anchor the Jets' 3-4 middle, upgrading run defense and offering more pass rush than New York's prior interior options. The trade is viewed as a potential steal given Sweat's size, film, and versatility.

Jets land Sweat in Johnson trade, reshaping their defense

The New York Jets agreed to trade defensive end Jermaine Johnson to the Tennessee Titans for defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat; the deal is pending physicals and cannot be finalized until the start of the 2026 league year on March 11. Johnson, 27, leaves New York after four seasons and will reunite with former Jets coach Robert Saleh in Tennessee. Sweat, 24, adds interior run-stopping depth on a rookie deal. The Jets save about $13.4 million in cap space, while Sweat’s cap hit remains modest through 2026, and New York is expected to pursue additional edge-rush help in free agency and the draft.

Titans pull off February trade, swap Sweat for Jermaine Johnson II

The Tennessee Titans have agreed to trade nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat to the New York Jets in exchange for edge rusher Jermaine Johnson II, a deal that cannot be consummated until the new league year opens March 11. Johnson would reunite with Titans head coach Robert Saleh, having posted 13.0 sacks across four seasons and earned a 2023 Pro Bowl before a 2024 injury diminished his production. The move addresses Tennessee's need for pass-rushing help around star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and adds Sweat's run-stuffing presence to the middle, while giving the Jets an edge upgrade as they map out their off-season plans.

"T'Vondre Sweat: A Must-Keep on the Raiders' Draft Board?"

The Las Vegas Raiders are considering adding a defensive tackle in the upcoming NFL draft, with T’Vondre Sweat being a potential prospect.
