The Browns have the meddling of the New York Jets' owner and Jerry Jeudy's "Madden" video game rating to thank for landing their top wide receiver. According to a report from The Athletic, the Jets had plans in place to acquire Jeudy from the Denver Broncos.

After reports that Madden Ratings prevented Jerry Jeudy from being traded to the New York Jets this past offseason, the Cleveland Browns reacted to the news

A new report says the NFL team’s owner nixed a trade for the former Alabama All-American over a video-game number.

Jeudy had a laugh about the latest story detailing Jets dysfunction, in which ownership shut down a trade for him over his Madden rating.

But instead of the drama being centered around the usual suspect (quarterback Aaron Rodgers), it's team owner Woody Johnson that's been put on the defense.  An article written by The Athletic has drum up questions regarding the influence that Johnson's teenage sons have had on the team's personnel decisions.

The Browns have the Jets to thank for landing their bargain deal for their breakout wide receiver this offseason

To some, the reference to the video game ratings is a sign of Johnson allowing his teenage sons, Brick and Jack, to influence the franchise.

The Jets reportedly discussed trading for Jerry Jeudy during the 2024 NFL offseason. Owner Woody Johnson decided not to allow the trade.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers put the team on notice after their latest loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. There are two games left in the regular season.

Vikings outside linebacker Dallas Turner made one tackle on defense, intercepted one pass and recorded two tackles on special teams. Turner picked off Seattle quarterback Geno Smith at the Seattle 35-yard line and returned it four yards for his first NFL interception with 5:42 left in the first half.

The owner of the New York Jets strangely used Madden to help determine moves that the team made in this past offseason.
