NFL Rumors: Aaron Rodgers Benching Suggested By Jets' Woody Johnson After Week 4 Loss

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson made a bold suggestion after the team's 2-3 start to the season.

Per The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt and Diana Russini, Johnson suggested benching quarterback Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor after a disastrous 10-9 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 4. Johnson felt "Rodgers' performance was holding the team back."

New York ultimately opted not to bench Rodgers and has gone 1-6 in the games since.
