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.
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.
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.
Mike White played against the Seahawks with broken ribs in 2022. They lost, and in the locker room threw his helmet. Woody Johnson responded by saying “you should throw your helmet, you f—king suck.” The Jets say Woody apologized later on.
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson is back in the spotlight this week after a bombshell report accused the former ambassador of passing on a trade for Cleveland Browns star receiver Jerry Juedy because of his Madden NFL rating. A report from The Athletic ...
Rodgers, who said he will take time after the season to mull his future, expressed gratitude to the Johnsons for bringing him to New York in 2023 -- meaning Woody and his younger brother, Christopher, the vice chairman. Rodgers and Christopher Johnson are known to have a good relationship.
Even New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers thinks it's amusing that owner Woody Johnson's teenage sons could have a say in his future with the franchise.
A report from The Athletic outlined the dysfunction within the Jets' organization, including the team owner using "Madden" ratings to influence decision-making.
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.
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.
