New York Jets owner Woody Johnson has come under scrutiny for his decision-making process, particularly regarding a failed trade for wide receiver Jerry Jeudy. According to reports, Johnson rejected the trade because he deemed Jeudy's Madden rating, which is currently 83 overall, too low. This decision has been characterized as indicative of Johnson's impulsive and overly involved management style, which sources claim is a significant factor in the Jets' ongoing dysfunction. Additionally, reports suggest that Johnson's teenage sons have begun to influence team decisions, further complicating the organization's leadership dynamics. The Jets, who are experiencing a 14-year playoff drought, have faced criticism for their management practices, with many insiders pointing to Johnson as a central figure in the team's struggles. The situation has drawn attention as the Jets continue to seek a way to revitalize their franchise amid persistent challenges.
