Jets in familiar territory in 25th year under Woody Johnson

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. Familiar position: Saturday marked Woody Johnson's 25th anniversary as the owner of the Jets. On Jan. 11, 2000, he purchased the team from the Leon Hess estate for $635 million, which was a record for an NFL franchise at the time. Forbes recently valued the Jets at $6.9 billion -- roughly 10 times Johnson's original investment.

While the franchise has appreciated in value, some things haven't changed.
