The burning question surrounding the New York Jets is how much autonomy will a proven candidate agree to surrender while working under Woody Johnson's watch? If impressions, observations and reports are all accurate,

So, Woody Johnson is going to find good candidates in the interview process and my selling job to them would begin with the chance to be a legend.

And a report from The Athletic on Tuesday revealed the true extent to which Johnson is involved in everything, including withholding money to re-sign players, forcing the coaching staff to bench players, and a wild suggestion earlier this season to bench future-Hall-of-Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers after only four games.

Headlines continue to circulate around the 3-8 New York Jets, but the relationship between quarterback Aaron Rodgers and team owner Woody Johnson

According to Rosenblatt and Russini, Jets owner Woody Johnson actually wanted to bench quarterback Aaron Rodgers after the team’s Week 4 loss to the Denver Broncos. Yes, you read that correctly. The Jets owner wanted to bench Rodgers four games into his comeback season from his 2023 Achilles injury.

When Aaron Rodgers was acquired by the New York Jets back in April 2023, the expectation around the league was that four-time MVP was just the guy to drag the Jets out of the NFL’s basement and bring one of the two teams playing in the Big Apple to relevancy.

There is no bigger joke team than Woody Johnson’s Jets, even if other teams in the NFL have won fewer games than they have.

Woody Johnson is in a fix, and an enormous one, and he’s not alone in the mud.
