Im sure there are truths in it but it doesnt add up. Rodgers is Woodies Golden Goose but he wants him benched? After he wants him benched he trades for his buddy? Also benching Tony Adams???
My deceased father before he passed away told me as long as Woody Johnson is the owner of the Jets we will never see a championship. You were right Dad.
And after all of this, Woody will continue to raise ticket prices each year as if he's producing a real competitor. Dude's totally disconnected from the fans. Stop lining his pockets.
@@davidrosato864 Yep. Hess was bad in a similar way, he wanted to prove that sbiii wasn't sunny werblins doing, that he wws a football guy too. Hess was bad in a different way, he hired Kotite bc Hess mother was friends w kotites family.
Woody gets Rodgers, brags to l of his rich friends about his new QB, wants to bench said QB after a 2-2 start a season later, then pushed for a trade for his best friend. Got it.
That makes absolutely no sense that was the 40 mph rain game and they were 2-1 coming off a blowout win. But then apparently Rodgers the GM (which was always nonsense) had Saleh fired the next week🤔. That doesn't add up. Woody Johnson is just crazy.
The NE game wasn't that much of a blowout. NE was the worst team in the league at that point, yet the Jets didn't do anything until the 2nd half. They also had gotten crushed by the niners who were missing key ppl, and almost lost to the titans ( if Levis wasn't Zach 2.0, titans would have won). Not saying I believe woody wanted to bench Rodgers, I am saying the offense wasn't great in any of those games
@@njlauren That's completely wrong the Patriots had just beat the Cincinnati Bengals.... And were 1-1 same as the Jets. The Jets won by 3 TDS. That was with still missing FGs
@ian1753 NE had injuries all over the place, they were facing an offense with no weapons and Jacoby Brissett at QB. Cincinnati has not had a good year. With this schedule everyone looked and said the jets should be able to dominate many of the teams outside SF. Instead they got crushed by SF bc they were that bad ( Saleh shrugging his shoulders and saying ' its SF' is one of the most defeatist, pathetic excuses for bad team play I ever saw. Lose to SF? Ok if it was competitive ). This team was not prepared for the season. Ppl love to talk about the missed field goals and what ifs, but this was supposed to be a team that dominated weak opponents, not lose to them or barely beat a team like the Titans. Some teams like Vikings and Pittsburg were better than expected so closer games would be okay. Been a fan of this team for 56 years and one constant is the culture of excuses , ' it was raining', ' gee I have to give the other team credit'.... Saleh was a master of that. Cleveland last year lost most of their o line, had a QB they signed off the street, and they made the playoffs. Other teams rebuild in a couple of years, we hear with a GM/ coach is sacked ' you are too impatient, it takes many years to rebuild '....bullshit. not to mention we aren't talking a progression, we are talking jets teams that either have all bad years, or have a good year like Bowles then self destruct .
The timing of this article is suspect. This is Douglas trying to save face. Douglas missed on Becton and Wilson. Could not fix the offensive line until this year. He missed a ton of mid level picks. Made bad free agency moves and don't get me started on Reddick.
You sir are a real Jet fan. Most Jet fans aren't very smart. They live on delusion and what they want to believe, instead of facts. Douglas was given ample opportunity to prove himself, and he failed miserably. Now he's getting a pass for how awful he was, and the blame is solely mounting on Woody. Even if all Woody's meddling is true, it shouldn't sweep the piss poor job Douglas did under the table. Like Parcells said, "you are what your record says you are". But because this narrative doesn't fit what the idiot fanbase wants to believe, they are now solely attacking Woody. When we all know that these same fans were all onboard with the moves Woody made, even though they thought it was Douglas behind it
Oh please stop it. No jets fans think woody is totally why the jets suck, Saleh was not a good HC and Douglas had a dismal record. The problem is woody compounded it, it was Woody who.insisted Zach Wilson starts even though they knew he wasn't anywhere near ready ( among other things, it is why he had no competition in camp, Mike white and Josh Johnson were not competition ), it is why Zach started year 2 and it is why Zach played last year instead of having a good backup. And Woody hired Saleh and Douglas ,( if you think Chris hired them you really are on drugs), on e again hiring first time HC and GM. Woody does that bc he is cheap with coaches, and he also wants coaches and gms who kowtow to him to get the job. His record as owner is like .443, you tell me who is to blame
@@njlauren Thank you for proving my point. You are a perfect example as to why we have such an awful fanbase. What you just did is jump aboard the bandwagon and not be able to think for yourself. Douglas is now being given a pass by you delusional clueless fans. You guys loved all the moves Woody made, when you thought it was Douglas who made them. But now you see an opportunity to give Douglas a pass and just put it all on the owner. Cause in your clueless eyes, Douglas proved himself and deserved to keep making bad decisions. Woody is to blame for his moves not working out, but Douglas is to blame for being so inept at his job that the owner felt no choice but to step in. And again, you flip flopping fans supported the moves when you thought it was Douglas making them. Douglas' record speaks for itself
You know where I stand. Unfortunately since Woody is the owner of the team, he has one other option. To do whatever he wants to do. Confirms all of my suspicions of Woody meddling too much. Just don't hire a GM if you're gonna do everything yourself.
So everyone pushing the "Rodgers is getting everyone fired and taking over the team" narrative was totally, completely and utterly wrong. Huh. Well I'm sure they'll just ignore this and keep Rodgers saying has used voodoo magic on Woody and taken over the team.
Actually the idea of AR running the team directly was not true. The Idea of Woody Johnsons brainstorm of trading for Adams , not signing Huff, signing one year mercenaries to support his AR signing destroyed the team
@@TonydaGM why do NY fans keep saying this nonsense. Rodgers tore his achilles and it takes 2 years to fully recover. He's playing hurt and when the Jets signed him he was 1 year removed from winning 2 mvps in a row. His down year in GB he had broken ribs and a broken thumb. Rodgers healthy is still a dominant player. The Jets ruined Rodgers like they ruin everything else
@Viking_367 LoL, The AR trade wad a disaster from the beginning. It's a team game, AR came from the Packers, the most chemistry and continuity in history. AR never played a single down with anyone other than Lazard. Jets only had 4 returning starters on offense.
Matt, I’m glad to hear someone who covers this team so closely say, sell the team or get out of the way. We’ve seen changes at every level of this organization and with the exception of a year with Rex, same results. There’s been one common denominator throughout this playoff drought - ownership. Accountability starts with leadership.
Yep. Woody screwed Belicik, he promised him full control and then at Parcells urging basically removed on it. Parcells wanted to be the power behind the throne but if it didn't work right, he could hide in the shadows and let bb take the blame. Woody was an ass the minute he bought the team .
Each team gets 374m from tv contracts. That said, if jets tv ratings are poor the broadcasters won't be happy, and woody makes a big deal about ticket revenue going up ,( that is what he cares about, the money, not winning,). If ticket sales didn't matter to him he wouldn't have raised prices 65% over the past 3 seasons.
Once I was a Jets Fan... But didn't know how nasty the owner was.... Jets should go for the record.. longest playoff drought in American sports history, profession,,,,Kids Flag Football.... keep things the same.... if ya gonna be bad... be the worst ... EVER lol
Christopher Johnson was rumored to have wanted Mike McCarthy and Woody vetoed it. Mike would have been as good if not better than others. Christopher is smarter than Woody running the Jets because he stays out of meddling.
i kinda call bs on the article. JD’s quickest ticket out would be to say no to Woody for any of these reasons and call Woody’s bluff and he never did even though he apparently wanted out. So this article implies JD had no backbone and Woody is the easiest of caricatures to draw for blame game purposes.
Done with the team. Bad owner of a company should not be supported anymore. Now we know why the team sucks every year is beacuse of the owner. Can't root for disrespectful clowns who don't know the game and never played.
Jets Fan living in Michigan now. I heard for years out here in MI that the Ford family needs to sell to Lions. I don’t hear that anymore. That report doesn’t make any sense. Oh, it was really enlightened to say that the owner is the most power person in the organization. The GM has to draft and sign good players,the coach has to develop those players and win games. It’s not rocket science. When you don’t do that, you lose your job. Who cares who owns the team? Do your job and win. Otherwise, you’re gonna get fired. They told the owner they were a quarterback away.. they were wrong and they got fired.
Woody is like a sneaky Jerry Jones, working behind the scene to screw up this franchise. I agree. New ownership is the only answer. The Jets with Woody are playing .430 football for the past 24 seasons. 13 losing seasons in 24 years? Jets fans deserve better!
It's time we send a message to Ownership that we don't want you. I suggest boycotting a game and no one shows up. 24 years is enough!!! I have been a fan for over 50 years and I have had enough. Let's send a message we want you out. YOU ARE FIRED!!! If we can't organize that then a chant of WOODY MUST GO! should be heard at every game. Might be a good start. Since he likes social media, we should all post NY JETS - Woody must go!!! YOU ARE FIRED!!!
If this is true this is damning toward reputable HC and GM replacements. If you’re the best Candidate available and you read this why would you take this job knowing your Boss is a middler who tells you how to do your job. This really sucks
JD drafted the offensive and defensive rookies of the year 2 years ago. Jets had a killer defense even last year. They can’t get the QB right and there’s no doubt Woody meddled in that.
That article doesn't negate the horrific job Joe Douglas did overall. You can try and save face all you want but there's moves in his first three seasons that had nothing to do with Woody that played a role in his firing. Joe D is just trying to get his name into good graces so he can land another job.
@@PowerFitnessNY yep that's where I'm at right now. Maybe if I lived closer to the Jets stadium I'd feel differently. Problem is I live closer to the Panthers...not a great option either!
The Only person that could verify this article after being fired is Saleh. The reason i say that is bcuz, he hasnt said a word after being fired. He just left quitely!
This report actually establishes the rumored common denominator with regards to the Jets history. WOODY JOHNSON is failing this operation but he don't realize IT'S HIM. Based on this report, he HIGHLY likely is the reason for abysmal football operations and team play over the decades. Let's see how committed to winning the state of New York and New Jersey are with regards to ticket sales. SPEAK
Rodgers isn’t the main reason jets are losing tbh. He’s clearly lost his magic but he’s been an average nfl QB. The losses are more due to disappointing defense and the kicker. Replacing Rodgers with Taylor doesn’t make them any better imo
Me to I think the the reason cause are qb plays with know fire he. I think it was a good idea. We were all fool by Rodger’s. So who would want Rodger’s back to play like this. Main point woody don’t play the players do and they play like they suck . How can you blame woody .
Rodgers and his receivers are finally clicking. He’s able to run more. He scored as many touchdowns in 3 weeks as Wilson scored in 11. Ya’ll need to calm down. All we need is a healthy O line to protect Rodgers for a full 3 seconds and create gaps for Hall to run through and we’re golden
Why is everyone cracking on Woody Johnson. He gave these guys 5 years and wasn’t “interfering” in those years so what’s the excuse for that? I’m not saying JD and Saleh were entirely bad because I really liked their energy, but they didn’t make cutthroat decisions in games when they needed to and that is their jobs
This seems like a JD plant and yet it’s believable. This article feels like a new all time low as a 42 year old Jet fan. Maybe Woody will hire himself to be the head coach. The fans deserve so much better. Can’t Goodell do SOMETHING.
I gave up my season tickets in the 90's. Had them since 1977. Decided when the mortgage was levied. Woody was the cause of this total collapse. Firing Saleh at that time of the season was high risk. Defense collapsed, this tells you who, really, was in charge of the defense. The procedure is not going to games and not watching games. But, might not work, corporations own most seats not individuals. Can we fire Woody?
You know the Athletic, and these 2 journalists have an agenda against this team. What they say might be true, but you have to take it with a mass of grain of salt..
The other criticisms have some merit, but Taylor has been an extremely competent quaterback with previous teams. Giving him a run, especially when Rogers was clearly suffering from an injury makes sense.
I know that hindsight is 20/20, but Johnson has a point when he thought to bench Rodgers. It might have won a few more games...maybe even a play-off spot.
Woody needs to hire a President of Football Operations to run the team for him and just step away for four years. To completely Woody proof that decision, candidates need to be a served GM who have won a superbowl.
I was at the Denver game, and to be fair when Arod took a bad sack and started limping, I actually thought it would have been a good idea to put tyrod and and maybe get a little juice from his legs (for the remainder of the Denver game only). Just to get a win.
Not buying this report , benching qb at 2-2 after loosing a bad weather game coming off the best game he’d play all year the week prior doesn’t make sense .
Fans; media guys will tell you not to call for him to sell: Don’t listen to them! Do your chants. Make signs. Wear paper bags. You don’t have to get him to sell to change the culture. Just make him rethink his role.
@@joshvarble8190 No GM hits on 75%. Joe D drafted Becton and Z Wilson. Z Wlson alone is a fireable move. He should have drafted Wirfs. You must be kidding. He's had one great draft but had 4 picks in the top 36. His other drafts have been subpar.
Ok maybe i reached on 75% but the way to build a team Joe did it! And also i didn’t agree with Wilson but i believe Wilson was a woody draft pick! could be wrong. But look at what benton is doing with the Eagles !
Thank you for elaborating on this story. I can only think of one other team as inept as this one and that's the Browns. So we hired Savage from them and made him intern GM. Woody is a fucking joke.
@MattOLearyNY President of Football Operations (Yes, a new position in franchise history) - Pete Carroll (Seahawks Advisor) GM - Mike Borgonzi (Chiefs ast. GM) HC - Todd Monken (Ravens OC) / OC - Tee Martin (Ravens QB Coach) / DC - Rex Ryan (T.V) / ST - Darren Rizzi (Current HC Saints)
Not a bad organization that you set up here. Not sure if Rex would ever return as the DC he wants to be the HC, and I think with what Rizzi is doing in New Orleans now he may have the inside track as HC of the Saints if he keeps winning.
@@pcsalami Maybe with Rizzi, normally doesn't happen or doesn't end well. With Rex last 2 years his taken DC interviews. Looking at that I would just say he just wants to coach again.
Is this sickening franchise they don’t deserve to be in the NFL. In fact they shouldn’t be in no field there ass should had been in Hot 🥵 Zona where the desert 🏜️ is at and they can live there forever. I hope that help them to calm down and don’t worry about any games
Okay , after hearing this article a few times, a few thoughts. First off, I hate that Johnson is involved AT ALL. Secondly, I am not sure how much to believe of this article, like, go figure, as soon as Douglas gets fired, all this comes out. From Diana Russini of all people. If it is true, just to play devils advocate, the huff contract seems to be a good move as he’s playing poorly. Jeudy is playing poorly, as well. I think there is three sides to these stories, and Russini is only taking the negative side due to her hated of Rodgers
Why does everybody blaming woody how the team plays 😂😂😂. He made the team be stacked with players but play terrible . Now we wanna believe the media . Are coaching was horrible. Are players play with no fire.
Woody you can't just go half Jerry Jones... Be the GM instead of bringing in a puppet to run your commands. I think this report will hurt a lot when we look for someone to fill the GM position. Woody for the love of God go full Jerry Jones or sit back and shut up let competent football minds run the organization!!!
The best thing that can happen to the NY Jets franchise is for Woody to sell the team. It's not going to happen but it will be better off to sell or else it more problems than solving thse😢 issues.
I think Johnson wanting to bench Rodgers after the Denver game is bs, that makes no sense, so he goes from wanting to bench Rodgers then trading for Adams, that makes zero sense. And Christopher Johnson hired Gase, so that’s a scary though him running the franchise again.
So basically, woody was correct about jeudy and about huff...look at their performances with their current teams...and if woody knew about reddicks representatives comments to douglas about the contract (sounds like woody didn't know), the trade would not have been permitted...but still there was no reason for him to block Douglas at so many steps...woody has to stay out of it, or assign himself as the GM, and face the praise for good moves and face the music for the bad moves...otherwise, the new GM will have a covert "senior GM" from whom to get approval for transactions, and the result will be the same as JD...no matter how excited or open minded the new GM will be...
No one anywhere near competent will sign with this team with this owner. This is why Jets can't win. Bad owner equals bad results no matter who the coach and GM are.
What do you think of the Woody Johnson report?
I wonder if security walked Douglas to his car?
Im sure there are truths in it but it doesnt add up. Rodgers is Woodies Golden Goose but he wants him benched? After he wants him benched he trades for his buddy? Also benching Tony Adams???
As I always said: The Problem with Jets is the Owner (Woody) needs to get the F**K out of the way and let the People he Hired do their jobs!
I call BS
Complete and utter Bullshit in my opinion
My deceased father before he passed away told me as long as Woody Johnson is the owner of the Jets we will never see a championship. You were right Dad.
Same for Dallas. Jerry Jones' ego is too big for a good coach.
Same with James Dolan….
NYC is cursed with bad sports leadership
And after all of this, Woody will continue to raise ticket prices each year as if he's producing a real competitor. Dude's totally disconnected from the fans. Stop lining his pockets.
And us Jet fans thought Hess was not the best owner-this guy is lost!
@@davidrosato864
Yep. Hess was bad in a similar way, he wanted to prove that sbiii wasn't sunny werblins doing, that he wws a football guy too. Hess was bad in a different way, he hired Kotite bc Hess mother was friends w kotites family.

If true my lifelong loyalty as a Jets fan will come to an end. It’s enough already
@@PowerFitnessNY yep that's where I'm at right now. Maybe if I lived closer to the Jets stadium I'd feel differently. Problem is I live closer to the Panthers...not a great option either!
The Only person that could verify this article after being fired is Saleh. The reason i say that is bcuz, he hasnt said a word after being fired. He just left quitely!
This report actually establishes the rumored common denominator with regards to the Jets history. WOODY JOHNSON is failing this operation but he don't realize IT'S HIM. Based on this report, he HIGHLY likely is the reason for abysmal football operations and team play over the decades. Let's see how committed to winning the state of New York and New Jersey are with regards to ticket sales. SPEAK
I think Woodys thoughts on benching old man Rodgers was a good idea.
Rodgers isn’t the main reason jets are losing tbh. He’s clearly lost his magic but he’s been an average nfl QB. The losses are more due to disappointing defense and the kicker. Replacing Rodgers with Taylor doesn’t make them any better imo
Me to I think the the reason cause are qb plays with know fire he. I think it was a good idea. We were all fool by Rodger’s. So who would want Rodger’s back to play like this.
Main point woody don’t play the players do and they play like they suck . How can you blame woody .
Rodgers and his receivers are finally clicking. He’s able to run more. He scored as many touchdowns in 3 weeks as Wilson scored in 11. Ya’ll need to calm down. All we need is a healthy O line to protect Rodgers for a full 3 seconds and create gaps for Hall to run through and we’re golden
Kinda explains the 5 game losing streak the ensued with the Denver loss .... seemed like they gave up.
More and More, there are good arguments for boycotting the Jets that are surfacing.
NOBODY is gonna want to be GM or coach for this team if any if this is true! We’re fucked.
Link please and thank you 😊
Woody is the new Daniel Snyder - a bossy guy who doesn’t know a damn thing.
Woody, must of read Arthur Blank's and Jerry Jones's manual on "How To Run A Footbsll Team"
After 37 years im done, at least my mets make it interesting every once in a while.
I agree 💯
Woody is 💯 % the reason the Jets will never have nice things and always be a clown show!
Why is everyone cracking on Woody Johnson. He gave these guys 5 years and wasn’t “interfering” in those years so what’s the excuse for that? I’m not saying JD and Saleh were entirely bad because I really liked their energy, but they didn’t make cutthroat decisions in games when they needed to and that is their jobs
It was woody who. Really wanted qb wilson , that was 4 years ago. I say that really hurt the franchise
Woody Johnson is just like Cowboys owner, awful , he is responsible for this mess, it's time for him to sell this team
This seems like a JD plant and yet it’s believable. This article feels like a new all time low as a 42 year old Jet fan.
Maybe Woody will hire himself to be the head coach. The fans deserve so much better. Can’t Goodell do SOMETHING.
More like a woody plant ' I knew Rodgers was bad,but Saleh and JD talked me out of it, it is there fault'
Woody was right to want to bench him and if the coaches couldn't do it then they all need to go.
I gave up my season tickets in the 90's. Had them since 1977. Decided when the mortgage was levied. Woody was the cause of this total collapse. Firing Saleh at that time of the season was high risk. Defense collapsed, this tells you who, really, was in charge of the defense. The procedure is not going to games and not watching games. But, might not work, corporations own most seats not individuals. Can we fire Woody?
Woody call Steve and ask him if he wants to buy the Jets...
You know the Athletic, and these 2 journalists have an agenda against this team. What they say might be true, but you have to take it with a mass of grain of salt..
The Atlantic is a rag. This is all about bad coaching and not having a real kicker.
It is a rag, but I think he said the Athletic
I think you worry too much about what goes on at the top. Just follow the team leave the other to them.
The other criticisms have some merit, but Taylor has been an extremely competent quaterback with previous teams.
Giving him a run, especially when Rogers was clearly suffering from an injury makes sense.
I know that hindsight is 20/20, but Johnson has a point when he thought to bench Rodgers. It might have won a few more games...maybe even a play-off spot.
Woody is a dainty dilettante being all faux tough guy meddling with football operations crushing team spirit and wrecking a legendary franchise.
If true, as it played out he was right!
If you suck on jets ? You get fired then praised . If you bring in a nfl hall of fame qb ???? You blame him ! Jets suck
Some are true and some are false.
I need the Woody, drip chain in my collection of none
Woody needs to hire a President of Football Operations to run the team for him and just step away for four years. To completely Woody proof that decision, candidates need to be a served GM who have won a superbowl.
Finally, someone is making sense.👍🏾
I was at the Denver game, and to be fair when Arod took a bad sack and started limping, I actually thought it would have been a good idea to put tyrod and and maybe get a little juice from his legs (for the remainder of the Denver game only). Just to get a win.
Not buying this report , benching qb at 2-2 after loosing a bad weather game coming off the best game he’d play all year the week prior doesn’t make sense .
It does not matter. Joe Douglas' record speaks for itself. You are what your record says you are.
Woody Johnson, really that’s his name 😂😂
It’s though because when Chris Johnson made decisions, he chose Gase. He’d probably turn around and hire Daboll
I never thought the Jets would fail so miserably after that feeling of hope we had.
You must be young
@ very funny. Not young just gullible. Lol
@@johnp8355 fair enough
Fans; media guys will tell you not to call for him to sell: Don’t listen to them! Do your chants. Make signs. Wear paper bags. You don’t have to get him to sell to change the culture. Just make him rethink his role.
What’s wrong with benching Aaron rodgers's
I think the roles were reversed, I think it may have been the coaches who wanted to but the owner didn’t.
What I get from the Athletic report is Woody lost confidence in Douglas and Saleh after 4 yrs. Why he didn’t pull the plug on them then is beyond me
This is why our team sucks. Crap owner making a bad GM's job even harder.
I disagree Joey D is a great GM! When was the last time you seen a Jets GM hit on 75% of their draft picks!
@@joshvarble8190 No GM hits on 75%. Joe D drafted Becton and Z Wilson. Z Wlson alone is a fireable move. He should have drafted Wirfs.
You must be kidding. He's had one great draft but had 4 picks in the top 36. His other drafts have been subpar.
Ok maybe i reached on 75% but the way to build a team Joe did it! And also i didn’t agree with Wilson but i believe Wilson was a woody draft pick! could be wrong. But look at what benton is doing with the Eagles !
Matt, Just remember Woody is watching you too! Hopefully he takes your advice ! !
Thank you for elaborating on this story. I can only think of one other team as inept as this one and that's the Browns. So we hired Savage from them and made him intern GM. Woody is a fucking joke.
It’s not insane Rodgers has been running this team and needs an ego check. It sounds like this is a good take but should have come from the coaches
@MattOLearyNY
President of Football Operations (Yes, a new position in franchise history) - Pete Carroll (Seahawks Advisor) GM - Mike Borgonzi (Chiefs ast. GM)
HC - Todd Monken (Ravens OC) / OC - Tee Martin (Ravens QB Coach) / DC - Rex Ryan (T.V) / ST - Darren Rizzi (Current HC Saints)
Not a bad organization that you set up here. Not sure if Rex would ever return as the DC he wants to be the HC, and I think with what Rizzi is doing in New Orleans now he may have the inside track as HC of the Saints if he keeps winning.
@@pcsalami Maybe with Rizzi, normally doesn't happen or doesn't end well. With Rex last 2 years his taken DC interviews. Looking at that I would just say he just wants to coach again.
Jesus, What a mess.
Is this sickening franchise they don’t deserve to be in the NFL. In fact they shouldn’t be in no field there ass should had been in Hot 🥵 Zona where the desert 🏜️ is at and they can live there forever. I hope that help them to calm down and don’t worry about any games
Okay , after hearing this article a few times, a few thoughts. First off, I hate that Johnson is involved AT ALL. Secondly, I am not sure how much to believe of this article, like, go figure, as soon as Douglas gets fired, all this comes out. From Diana Russini of all people. If it is true, just to play devils advocate, the huff contract seems to be a good move as he’s playing poorly. Jeudy is playing poorly, as well. I think there is three sides to these stories, and Russini is only taking the negative side due to her hated of Rodgers
Woody needs to go to the UK and Chris needs to hire someone to run the day to day
If Woody really is paying attention to the sports and social media, then he should know by now that all of us fans want him to sell the team
This is why coach and gm never matter for us
Why does everybody blaming woody how the team plays 😂😂😂. He made the team be stacked with players but play terrible . Now we wanna believe the media . Are coaching was horrible. Are players play with no fire.
If this is true, JD should have quit when they fired Hogan
So after reading that Woody Johnson hit the nuke button in this franchise, the assessment is Joe Douglas wasn’t apart of the solution?? 🤦♂️
Woody you can't just go half Jerry Jones... Be the GM instead of bringing in a puppet to run your commands. I think this report will hurt a lot when we look for someone to fill the GM position. Woody for the love of God go full Jerry Jones or sit back and shut up let competent football minds run the organization!!!
Best case scenario:
NFL agrees to give Woody Johnson the brand new London franchise if he sells the NY Jets .
He has to sell this team!
Why would anyone want to take on this job. It's a terrible deal. 😆.
The best thing that can happen to the NY Jets franchise is for Woody to sell the team. It's not going to happen but it will be better off to sell or else it more problems than solving thse😢 issues.
If these reports are true. Woody needs to go.
I think Johnson wanting to bench Rodgers after the Denver game is bs, that makes no sense, so he goes from wanting to bench Rodgers then trading for Adams, that makes zero sense. And Christopher Johnson hired Gase, so that’s a scary though him running the franchise again.
This is what I always said Woody cannot stay out of football business
If Woody goes to England what is to stop him from keeping his hands in it. He’s still the owner. He still sees social media
most problems the jets have had over the years fall squarely on wood johnson. want a real team/org then convince him to sell.
Douglas hired loser Saleh ,
So basically, woody was correct about jeudy and about huff...look at their performances with their current teams...and if woody knew about reddicks representatives comments to douglas about the contract (sounds like woody didn't know), the trade would not have been permitted...but still there was no reason for him to block Douglas at so many steps...woody has to stay out of it, or assign himself as the GM, and face the praise for good moves and face the music for the bad moves...otherwise, the new GM will have a covert "senior GM" from whom to get approval for transactions, and the result will be the same as JD...no matter how excited or open minded the new GM will be...
This team knows how to piss on your heart.
No one anywhere near competent will sign with this team with this owner. This is why Jets can't win. Bad owner equals bad results no matter who the coach and GM are.
I told you 4 post ago Woody needs to sell Matt.. Yes, We’re done with this organization.
At this point, clean the decks, fire everyone so the next owner can have a clean slate. Time to sell the team Woody.
