Former Jets QB Criticizes Owner Woody Johnson Amid Team Struggles

The New York Jets have faced significant challenges this season, notably with quarterback Justin Fields struggling and the team sitting at a 1-7 record, leading to speculation about potential trades involving key players like Jermaine Johnson. Jets owner Woody Johnson has drawn criticism for publicly disparaging Fields' performance and making insensitive comments about other players, including former quarterback Jordan Travis, which has sparked backlash from fans and former NFL players such as Alex Smith. Travis, who retired due to a severe injury, revealed on his podcast that Johnson made dismissive remarks about his health, highlighting broader concerns about Johnson's leadership style and its impact on the team's morale. Despite Johnson's harsh words, Fields led the Jets to their first win of the 2025 season, though his future as a starter remains uncertain. The Jets' internal issues and Johnson's controversial comments have amplified scrutiny over the franchise's management amid ongoing struggles on and off the field.
