More Jets Dysfunction with new Woody Johnson Reports that will blow your mind.
December 20, 2024- Jets Owner Woody Johnson has come under fire after reports about his misuse of management and dysfunction become public.
The Jets season-long drama continues from their utterly disappointing season record to firing their coach mid-season.
Johnson has been accosted by former general manager Joe Douglas for; relying on madden ratings when deciding on acquiring players, letting his teenage son influence team decisions, and even berating players after poor performances.
Woody Johnson Free Agency
Woody Johnson and the Jets had an opportunity to sign wide receiver Jerry Jeudy this offseason and while Joe Douglas pushed hard for the free agent, the move was ultimately vetoed. Johnson reportedly didn’t want the speedy wideout because he felt his Madden rating was “too low”
Madden is the popular NFL game where users can play as their favorite teams and compete against each other.
Jeudy went on to break 1000 yards for the first time in his career this season.
@bleacherreport Jets’ Woody Johnson using Madden? ???? @melissaykim #nfl #nflfootball #fooball
Johnsons sons, Brick and Jack influence his decisions.
Reportedly, Johnsons’ interest in Madden ratings stems from his sons influence on the teams decision making.
According to the Athletic, a Jets executive had told them that “When we’re discussing things, you’ll hear Woody cite something that Brick or Jack read online that’s being weighed equally against whatever opinion someone else in the department has”
Joe Douglas was also reported to have told a close friend that he “reports to a teenager”
However there was one Jets executive who disagreed with the claim. He stated, “It’s really sad that an adult would use a misleading anecdote about teenagers to make their father look bad.”
New York Jets
The Jets season has crumbled right before their eyes. They currently sit at a 4-10 record and this was the year that they were supposed to make a real playoff push.
They have now missed the playoffs every year since 2014. The longest playoff drought in sports history. It is clear that whatever the Jets have been doing for the past decade has not been working.
And with interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich likely on his way out, many fans believe it will be hard to attract anybody worthwhile with the sort of publicity they have been getting lately.
