Report: Woody Johnson Makes 'Smart-Ass Lines' About Jets' Decisions During NFL Drafts

The New York Jets have been among the most disappointing teams in the league this season, but the franchise's issues reportedly extend beyond 2024.

Zack Rosenblatt, Dianna Russini and Michael Silver of The Athletic detailed much of the organizational dysfunction under team owner Woody Johnson in a piece published Thursday. One of the stories they relayed chronicled how Johnson undermines the front office during draft day.

"During the annual NFL Draft, Johnson is known to keep to himself while decisions are being made, according to one former executive, then exit the room and retreat to a nearby snack bar with confidants to make 'smart-ass lines' about the front office's decisions," The Athletic reported.
