New York Jets coach Al Groh said Tuesday the team no longer is considering trading two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson.
But Groh also insisted the team has no plans to renegotiate Johnson’s contract, which has two years to run at less than $2 million a season, considered far below his market value.
Johnson’s agent, Jerome Stanley, said Johnson would not discuss his contract in the media.
