Woody Johnson Receives 'F' Grade as NFL's Worst Owner

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson received an unprecedented 'F' grade from his players in the NFL Players Association's annual team report card, marking a significant decline from his previous B- rating. The Jets ranked 29th out of 32 teams, with players citing critical leadership issues and a culture of fear within the organization. Concerns were raised over management's response to feedback, particularly regarding the food program, which players felt worsened after budget cuts and the departure of a well-regarded dietitian. Johnson's lack of commitment to improving team facilities and culture was heavily criticized, leading to the lowest score among NFL owners. This discontent reflects broader issues within the Jets franchise, exacerbated by a disappointing 5-12 season. NFLPA executives emphasized the importance of player voices in driving organizational change moving forward.
