The Jets are the only known team to have expressed interest in Johnson since he was released by the Tennessee Titans, so it's not a surprise to hear him say he would be happy playing there.
Money is almost certainly what's holding up a deal between the two parties. Johnson was paid very, very well in Tennessee, and the deal the Jets are probably offering must look like pennies by comparison.
