For the first time since rumors began swirling about a possible connection between the Jets and Aaron Rodgers, Jets owner Woody Johnson was asked about the speculation publicly, but did his best not to tip his hand about the team’s pursuit of a veteran quarterback this offseason.
Speaking with ESPN’s Dianna Russini on the red carpet ahead of the NFL Honors ceremony Thursday, Johnson spoke candidly about New York’s struggles at quarterback during the 2022 season and how the front office is surveying the landscape for a possible upgrade this spring.
“The weakness right now is in the quarterback position,” Johnson said. “Whether it was management or whatever, everybody kind of regressed a little bit so what we’re gonna do is we are gonna look for an experienced quarterback to come in and help us and help develop these other young players.”
