New York Jets owner Woody Johnson's frustration began after a 9-10 loss to the Broncos, and according to one report, his first suggestion was to bench Aaron Rodgers.
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson has taken several drastic measures in hopes of salvaging this season, including his recent decision to part ways with general manager Joe Douglas more than halfway through his sixth season with the team. But according to one report, the longtime NFL owner had considered making one major change even before firing both his head coach and GM.
During that meeting, sources told The Athletic that Johnson suggested benching the four-time league MVP because he felt Rodgers’ lackluster performance after just four games was limiting the team’s potential. Johnson was convinced otherwise by Douglas and the coaches, who suggested that the decision would not go over well in the locker room and that it would embarrass Rodgers.
