Woody Johnson should bench himself…

I disagree. Johnson is an outstanding owner who is doing a fantastic job with the Jets. May he live a long time and continue to be involved in the day-to-day operations of the team.

I'm sure Jets fans are beside themselves and feel helpless due to the owner. I have no love for the Jets, but that's a horrible place for a fan base to be.

I have a friend here in Buffalo, huge Sabres fan as well as a Jets fan... dont ask me why.  I check on him regularly. Just sayin...

Pretty sure he is going to be an ambassador like he was previously under Trump.  Looking to hire a GM, Coach and draft a qb and hand it over to his brother for 4 years.  Like he did previous.

Rumor/Speculation that the Jets will bring Curtis Martin back to join the FO.

Woody Johnson is a hilarious name 

Having Woody as the Jets owner gives male Bills fans Johnsons a Woody.

He absolutely wants it. He's openly saying on the air that he wants the Jets job and would do it "in a second"

Maybe, his on air ego persona says a lot, who knows what is real what isn't.  Heck I hope he does want then job.

Not Saleh who was still the coach, not the GM, the owner wanted Aaron benched. The coaching staff and the entire front office had to talk him out of it. 

 

Yeah. Jets gonna problem. 

 

 

Jeez. Couldn't happen to a nicer team.

 

Hope Woody doesn't get appointed anywhere. He should stay with the Jets.

He is going to be so checked out by the time we play him again…

Hall of famer or not, he single handedly sunk a franchise, who would want him? To be fair, the Jets couldn't be sunk much lower

Lol this raises another question, what about Adams? He said he'd only play for the Jets if Rodgers came back in 25

Unfortunately Sam Darnold has already become a Jet castoff achieving success with the Vikings so he can't continue his Brett Farve journey, though the state of Mississippi is probably relieved.

Darnold is a free agent, so there may be an opening in Minnesota, but they most likely will go with McCarthy.  

 

I just don't understand why Rodgers would want to leave the Jets.  He loves darkness & the Jets are about the darkest situation in the NFL.  

[aristocrat]

He could go to giants, Pittsburgh or…Indy maybe?

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

Rodgers should just retire.

 

He's completely washed

[JDubya76]

I sort of feel bad for Devante, but he’s kind of the harbinger of QB death. He goes to the Raiders to be with his buddy Carr, and Carr poops the bed, gets benched and released. Devante then forces a trade to New York and AR is actively pooping the bed, about to be benched and released. The quarterback on the next team he is shipped to better watch his 6.

All this information is coming from an article that is poorly sourced and seems like a PR piece for Joe Douglas.

 

Why would Johnson want Rodgers benched then turn around and be the driving force of acquiring Adams for Rodgers just a couple weeks later?

There was a follow-up to this report from a Jets reporter, I believe Rich Cimini who said Johnson wasn’t serious by that suggestion.  
 

I tend to agree with what you wrote.  Even after the bad loss to Denver, the Jets still had life at 2-3 and were taking on what appeared to be a struggled 3-2 Bills football team.  Benching Rodgers then would make zero sense

Sure, he heard Woody saying: "Psych!" "Just kidding, why so serious?" "Gotcha!"
