The Athletic’s NFL reporters, Zack Rosenblatt, Dianna Russini and Michael Silver dropped a really telling report on the incompetency of Johnson and the Jets.
It has despatched ripples all through the league and has now solid a fair greater detrimental highlight on the downtrodden franchise.
In line with the report, then Jets common supervisor Joe Douglas expressed curiosity in buying and selling for Cleveland Browns large receiver, Jerry Jeudy.
It was all however set to occur till Johnson received concerned.
Within the report, “Douglas instructed the Broncos that Johnson didn’t need to make the commerce as a result of the proprietor felt Jeudy’s participant score in “Madden NFL,” the favored online game, wasn’t excessive sufficient, in response to a number of league sources.”
Not buying and selling for a gifted participant merely due to a low score in a online game about sums up the dumpster hearth that’s Johnson and the Jets.

Youngsters.

The ability dynamics are at an all-time dysfunctional excessive.
The Athletic’s report included damning quotes from nameless gamers and executives with ties to the group, revealing simply how unhealthy it actually is on 1 Jets Drive.
“There are organizations the place it’s all arrange so that you can win,” mentioned a participant with the staff in 2023. “It feels utterly completely different (with the Jets). It’s essentially the most dysfunctional place possible.”
“Woody is simply performing on intuition,” mentioned a present Jets govt.
“With Woody, it’s like, ‘I’m proper — show me improper.’ You simply don’t know what to anticipate … He’s been proper sufficient, simply along with his random opinions, that (a nasty determination) doesn’t dissuade him.
“And when he’s improper, who’s gonna maintain him accountable?”
Johnson banked on Aaron Rodgers coming in on his white horse to save lots of the day, and uplift the franchise from the NFL’s cellar, to the league’s greatest.
Sadly for the Jets proprietor, the plan has backfired in great style.
This yr the Jets are 4-10, including a 14th consecutive yr to their postseason drought (longest in all of American skilled sports activities).
A fired head coach, a fired common supervisor, questions on the quarterback place, it is all wanting extraordinarily bleak for New York.
However hey, don’t be concerned Gang Inexperienced, I am certain Johnson will sit down along with his sons, hearth up the Ps, play some Madden, and determine all of it out.
That appears to be working up to now.
