Overview

  • Johnson made the candid admission in a conversation with Dianna Russini of The Athletic at the NFL owners meetings.
  • New York is 0-7 with five one-possession defeats, extending a drought that has not included a playoff berth since 2010.
  • First-year head coach Aaron Glenn has overseen a turbulent quarterback situation with Justin Fields benched in Week 7 and set to start Sunday after Tyrod Taylor was ruled out.
  • Johnson emphasized player connection and empathy following his last-place, F-grade finish in the NFLPA ownership survey, citing locker-room upgrades and significant financial commitments including $30 million guaranteed to Fields.
  • The Jets visit the Bengals on Sunday as 6.5-point underdogs, with Cincinnati starting Joe Flacco and New York without cornerback Sauce Gardner, according to the latest reports.
