What does Robert Saleh’s firing mean for Aaron Rodgers, Jets' offense? Here’s what team leadership said

Woody Johnson could have said it.

Jeff Ulbrich could have said it.

But when the New York Jets team owner and interim head coach were each asked Tuesday afternoon about Nathaniel Hackett, neither would confirm that the offensive coordinator and play-caller is safe hours after the team fired head coach Robert Saleh.

“We’re going to make changes wherever changes are due,” Johnson said. “We know where we’re weak and where we’re strong. And so do you.”

The Jets’ defense ranks fifth in the league in points allowed and second in yards allowed. Its offense ranks 25th in scoring and 27th in yardage — despite four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers quarterbacking the unit.
