oh boy... heres some excerpts that stand out "Woody Johnson decided to do his own research. Joe Douglas and his Broncos counterpart, George Paton, were deep in negotiations for a trade that would have sent Jerry Jeudy to the Jets and given future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers another potential playmaker. The Broncos felt a deal was near. Then, abruptly, it all fell apart. In Denver’s executive offices, they couldn’t believe the reason why. Douglas told the Broncos that Johnson didn’t want to make the trade because the owner felt Jeudy’s player rating in “Madden NFL,” the popular video game, wasn’t high enough, according to multiple league sources. The Broncos ultimately traded the receiver to the Cleveland Browns. Last Sunday, Jeudy crossed the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the first time in his career." " Johnson seemed to follow decision-making advice from his teenage sons, according to various team and league sources. And the proposed Jeudy trade wasn’t the only time Johnson cited “Madden” ratings when evaluating players. “There are organizations where it is all set up for you to win,” said a player with the team in 2023. “It feels completely different (with the Jets). It’s the most dysfunctional place imaginable.” https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6005172/2024/12/19/woody-johnson-jets-madden-sons/
Wow. just wow "The Johnson family’s behavior inside the Jets locker room has also become an issue, according to team and league sources. NFL locker rooms are restricted-access spaces typically limited to players, coaches, team personnel and media members. But (woody's teenage sons) Brick and Jack have brought friends — male and female — into the locker room, and current and former players and coaches told The Athletic that Woody Johnson, his wife, Suzanne Ircha Johnson, and his sons criticized players inside the locker room." "This year, on Halloween night, the Jets registered their first victory since Saleh’s firing four weeks earlier. It was a significant moment for a struggling team. Rodgers walked into an energized locker room with a game ball in hand, and it was expected that he’d give the ball to Ulbrich, a customary gesture when a coach gets his first NFL win. But before Rodgers could speak, Brick Johnson took another game ball and awarded it to wide receiver Garrett Wilson in a profanity-laced exclamation, which the owner’s son later posted to Instagram. Woody Johnson then gave Ulbrich the ball Rodgers had been holding. Multiple players said the energy felt drained out of the room. “It was the most awkward, cringe-worthy, brutal experience,” one player said." --- can you imagine that? some 15 year old "bro" coming in the locker room of grown men and shit talking
Looks like Joffrey is running the team from his game parlor. There's your analytics department. Brick Johnson's PS5.
Anyone think it's a coincidence that the Jets went into a tailspin and didn't win a game after that until just now?
Deep down we all know these stories are true. The results on the field reflect the chaos off it. No amount of talent can overcome these types of hurdles and you can guarantee the only reason any free agent comes to the Jets while this embarrassment continues will be doing so purely for the $$$. Super Bowl my ass.
Sick of people here telling me Woody is not cheap btw "In addition to firing the head coach and general manager and suggesting the benching of the star quarterback, Johnson has pursued cuts across the Jets organization. This offseason, he forced Saleh to fire five coaches and wouldn’t allow Douglas to replace former assistant GM Rex Hogan. Additionally, The Jets didn’t hire officials for training camp, a standard practice in the NFL, after being the most penalized team in the league in 2023 (they are the third-most penalized team in 2024)."
Most of those people are basing it on the fact that the Jets pay players, mostly big names that Johnson wants to make a splash with. It's almost like they have no knowledge that teams are required to spend a certain amount of the cap on a rolling basis. Anyone who says that Woody Johnson spends money trying to win is absolutely and completely clueless. One has nothing to do with the other.
Just when I think I couldn’t hate Johnson any more, shit like this comes to light What a fucking piece of shit undeserving imbecile
Yep.. Team 33 might as well start scraping the bottom of the barrel and turning over rocks. Hell, bring back Rex as GM and Gase as HC. We can at least be entertaining as we fuck up more seasons and our quality players jump ship at their first opportunity.
Even for Woody.... this is unbelievable. Just wow. Had no idea about the dynamic of his teenage sons. Profoundly alarming. Truly the organization has no chance of success with it being run this way
Apparently, he approached Mike White when he had broken ribs in the shower and told him he sucked. Was this back in 2022 against Buffalo? I wouldn't blame any of our current young talented players requesting a trade. I could only imagine what they see on a day or week basis with this ownership.
Not sure I believe any of this. BUT, if I make myself a 99 in Madden, I have a shot to make the team?
