PALM BEACH, Fla. — Jets owner Woody Johnson said he is encouraged by the direction of his club.
“I feel really good. I feel very optimistic. We’ve had a couple horrible seasons. We won four games last year. We won two games before that, this is not where we obviously want to be,” Johnson said Monday from the NFL owner’s meetings at The Breakers Resort. “And so now we’re addressing that big time. I think you’ve seen what we’ve done in free agency. No trade yet, just an attempted trade that was pretty dynamic and interesting with [Tyreek Hill]. And now we’re on to the draft.”
The Jets finished 4-13 in last season. The Jets have the capital, with four picks in the top-40 of the draft, including two picks in the top-10 (No. 4 and No. 10), to supercharge their rebuild.
