Woody Johnson and the New York Jets had another disappointing season in 2023. When Aaron Rodgers suffered an Achilles injury in the opener against the Buffalo Bills, head coach Robert Saleh never found the answer.

The Jets tried everything at the quarterback position with names like Zach Wilson, Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian. It all ended with a mediocre 7-10 record and no ticket the playoffs.

Now, the big upgrade they needed to compete in the NFL was the offensive line and the key move was the arrival of Tyron Smith. Everything seemed to be going smoothly as the Jets also acquired star wide receiver Mike Williams. Then, a massive scandal broke out between the team’s owner and the head coach.
