The New York Jets’ first big mistake in 2023 was visible from a mile away. Apparently, their owner knew it, too — but he did nothing about it.
Speaking in Las Vegas before the NFL Honors ceremony on Thursday, Woody Johnson stated flatly, “We need a backup quarterback. We didn’t have one last year.”
Johnson took a shot at Zach Wilson, but that’s secondary to the admission he’s making. The Jets didn’t have a backup quarterback last year, they knew they didn’t have one, and they did nothing about it.
