Patriots Ready to "Rescue" Pro Bowl Superstar from Jets' "0-6 Hell" to Upgrade Defense and Dominate AFC 2025

Foxborough, Massachusetts – New England Patriots (4-2) are emerging as the "hero" ready to rescue Jermaine Johnson II – Pro Bowl edge rusher 2023 of New York Jets – from the "0-6 hell" of the winless team. With the hot deadline 4/11, Patriots are planning a blockbuster trade to bring Johnson home, upgrading the defense to dominate AFC and strengthen the playoff race for season 2025.

Johnson, 26 years old, first-round draft Florida State 2022, exploded with 7.5 sacks Pro Bowl 2023 but trapped in Jets rebuild after Achilles injury 2024. In season 2025, he only 1 sack through 3 games, but game-wrecker potential still makes many teams hunt him. ESPN and SNY sources confirm Patriots "seriously interested", offering second-round pick + conditional 4th in exchange for final-year contract (13.9 million USD). Mike Vrabel, familiar with Jets from consultant role, sees Johnson as the ideal piece for 3-4 scheme.

Coach Vrabel couldn't hide excitement in press conference: "Jermaine Johnson is the type of player we admire – explosive, smart and never-give-up spirit. If I get to work with him, I will utilize Johnson's speed and power to increase pressure on QB. He can change the game with his energy. Combined with Milton Williams, we will have stronger defense. Patriots need him to go far in playoffs!"

Vrabel's "hot" praise makes experts predict the deal is highly likely to happen, exploding NFL. Connor Hughes (SNY): "Patriots fit perfect – Vrabel's warrior culture matches Johnson. Jets 0-6 will sell if overpay". PFF analysis: Johnson raises Patriots pressure rate from 32% to top-10, saves run defense (4.6 yard/carry). Patriots fans trending #RescueJohnson, seeing him as "Parsons 2.0" at cheap price.

If successful, Johnson debuts Week 8, helping Patriots (leading AFC East) dominate. Deadline hot – "rescue" will explode NFL?
