More than 20 people in and around the Jets organization characterized Johnson as an over-involved, impulsive owner.
White was starting in place of much-maligned quarterback Zach Wilson in the Jets’ game against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17 of the 2022 season with the team’s playoff hopes still alive. White, who was playing through broken ribs, recorded an ugly statline with 240 passing yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions.
It's been a rough couple of weeks for New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, especially after a bombshell article in a recent publication.
Just as New York Jets fans thought there were no more twists to be had in their 2024 season, another bolt from the blue has been revealed.
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.
Zack Rosenblatt, Dianna Russini and Michael Silver are out with quite a read on The Athletic that goes in-depth on owner Woody Johnson's unusual managerial style. It sounds as though Johnson has been doing his own research and giving a lot of credence to his sons' opinions, something that has added to the internal strife.
A report from The Athletic outlined the dysfunction within the Jets' organization, including the team owner using "Madden" ratings to influence decision-making.
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.
Aaron Rodgers addressed last week's bombshell report about New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, but not in the way you might expect. Rodgers chose to talk about the report from The Athletic during his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on ESPN.
The New York Jets were recently rumored to be influenced too heavily by owner Woody Johnson's son, Brick. Aaron Rodgers reckoned with that potential reality.
FOX Sports and NFL Network's Peter Schrager is plugged into the New York Jets. His take is that the Madden ratings are overblown, plus gives a Jay-Z anecdote.
