After leaving the team’s Week 16 game against the Los Angeles Rams with a foot injury, Fashanu will be placed on injured reserve but will avoid surgery.</p><p>Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich confirmed that the first-round rookie will be <a href="https://x.com/RichCimini/status/1871610135711564013" rel="noopener">placed on injured reserve</a> with plantar fasciitis, per ESPN’s Rich Cimini. While Cimini <a href="https://x.com/RichCimini/status/1871595976655573341" rel="noopener">previously reported</a> that Fashanu would need surgery, he later rescinded the statement. Fashanu’s rookie season comes to a close with seven starts in the year between both tackle positions.</p><p>Fashanu picked up his injury in the fourth quarter of Week 16 and was immediately ruled out for the remainder of the contest. He was unable to put any weight on his right foot after going down and was taken directly to the locker room once reaching the sidelines.</p><p>The injury designation makes him the second member of New York’s offensive line to land on injured reserve. Star left tackle Tyron Smith has already been shut down for the season. In their absences, veterans Morgan Moses and Max Mitchell are in line to start the team’s final two games of 2024.</p><h2><b>Jets limp into Week 17 with 4-11 record</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Olu-Fashanu-1.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 2024 season was supposed to be a resurgent year for the Jets with the unofficial debut of Aaron Rodgers. However, nothing has gone according to plan for New York, resulting in another horrid season that will end well below .500.</p><p>New York’s loss to the Rams in Week 16 prevented them from embarking on a late-season win streak. They entered the game off a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, their first since topping the Houston Texans in Week 9.</p><p>Without Fashanu, the Jets will close out 2024 with two tantalizing matchups. In Week 17, they will face the Buffalo Bills on the road before playing the Miami Dolphins at home in their final game of the year. New York is already 0-1 against both teams on the season, though they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-miami-walk-off-ot-win-extends-jets-brutal-playoff-drought">took Miami to overtime</a> in Week 14.

The Jets have rotated between four kickers on the year, and they may be adding a fifth to the equation after they signed yet another kicker to their practice squad on Tuesday morning in the wake of Anders Carlson’s struggles.</p><p>Greg Zuerlein opened the year as New York’s kicker, but he struggled before being <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-jets-adds-ex-49ers-kicker-greg-zuerlein-injury-situation">placed on injured reserve</a> with a left knee injury. Since then, Carlson, Riley Patterson, and Spencer Shrader have filled in, but they haven’t had much success collectively. With Carlson missing another field goal and an extra point in Week 16, New York <a href="https://x.com/TesslerSports/status/1871562363704655883" rel="noopener">signed</a> Greg Joseph to their practice squad.</p><p>“The New York Jets just signed my client Greg Joseph (K, FAU) to their practice squad. 7-year vet recently filled in for the Washington Commanders as well as the New York Giants earlier this season,” Joseph’s agent Brett Tessler shared in a post on X, formerly Twitter.</p><h2><b>Jets hoping Greg Joseph can solve their kicking issues</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Commanders-kicker-Greg-Joseph.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Matthew Hinton-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Joseph was the Minnesota Vikings kicker for three seasons from 2021-2023, before they ended up moving on from him this season. Joseph has spent time with both the New York Giants and Washington Commanders in 2024, but he hasn’t been particularly effective, as he’s made just 15 of his 19 field goal attempts on the year.</p><p>The Jets are desperate for answers at kicker, though, so taking a flier on Joseph with just two meaningless games left on their schedule certainly makes sense. Whether or not he will ultimately end up being their kicker in Week 17 when they take on the Buffalo Bills remains to be seen, but either way, it’s clear Carlson’s job is in jeopardy after his latest rough outing against the Rams.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The team fell to 4-11 while losing promising lineman <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-bad-olu-fashanu-injury-new-york-nightmare-season">Olu Fashanu to a serious-looking injury</a>.</p><p>Fashanu is <a href="https://x.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1871303624468705476" rel="noopener">expected to miss</a> the last two games of the regular season after going down with a foot injury in Sunday’s loss, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The first-round rookie needed to be carted to the locker room halfway through the fourth quarter against LA.</p><p>While it was originally feared that Fashanu suffered an Achilles injury, which would keep him sidelined for most, if not all, of the 2025 season, Jets reporter Rich Cimini <a href="https://x.com/RichCimini/status/1870982317734547629?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1870982317734547629%7Ctwgr%5E11d28ad9ff480c89da0dd32712bd3b76308d87f4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fjetswire.usatoday.com%2F2024%2F12%2F23%2Finjury-update-report-new-york-jets-olu-fashanu-foot-rams-nfl%2F" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> that the first-year tackle hurt his foot, not his Achilles. It’s a relatively small but significant break for New York.</p><p>The success rate of Joe Douglas’ final draft as the Jets’ GM is still being determined. However, he certainly appears to have hit on Fashanu. The 22-year-old Penn State standout was selected 11th overall in 2024. He’s played all 15 games for New York with seven starts this season. And Fashanu boasts above average grades as both a pass and run blocker.</p><p>While Rodgers has been sacked 33 times in 2024, 12th most in the league, the rookie lineman has only allowed one sack in 534 snaps this year. That places him in the <a href="https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/olumuyiwa-fashanu/129777#latestNewsWidget" rel="noopener">top quarter</a> of tackles in the NFL, per Pro Football Focus.</p><h2><b>The Jets lost promising rookie tackle Olu Fashanu to a foot injury Sunday</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Olu-Fashanu_187833.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Jets were efficient in their ineptitude Sunday, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-new-york-unfathomable-feat-done-only-1-other-time-since-1940">making history as just the second team since 1940</a> to not punt in a game while failing to score 10 points. While New York was competitive in the first half of Week 16’s contest, taking a 9-6 lead into halftime, the team was unable to score in the final two quarters. And an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-bad-admission-loss-rams">Aaron Rodgers fumble</a> late in the game allowed the Rams to take control.</p><p>It was a late-December win against the Rams that cost the Jets the first overall pick in the 2021 draft. New York came into that contest with an 0-13 record. But the surprise victory on the road over a playoff-bound Rams squad changed the draft landscape.</p><p>The Jets went 2-14 in 2020 while the Jacksonville Jaguars finished the season with a 1-15 record, securing the top pick in the upcoming draft. As expected, Trevor Lawrence was selected first. The Jets grabbed Zach Wilson second overall. That decision led the franchise to its current situation – playing out a lost season four years later with huge question marks surrounding the GM, coach and quarterback.</p><p>Of course, the Jets would probably be in this same spot if they had drafted Lawrence, assuming the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-woody-johnson-teen-sons-accused-meddling-bashing-jets-players">rumors of staggering dysfunction</a> are even half true. Either way, here they are, eliminated from the playoffs for the 14th consecutive season, the longest drought in professional sports.</p><p>The Jets will <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-issues-stern-message-culture-loss-rams">play for team culture and professionalism</a> over the final two games of 2024. New York will travel to Buffalo in Week 17 to take on the Bills before wrapping things up on January 5 against the Miami Dolphins.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After a report dropped that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-woody-johnson-teen-sons-accused-meddling-bashing-jets-players">Woody Johnson got business advice</a> from his 17-year-old son Brick, the rumor mill was spinning at an all-time high. In fact, on Monday’s episode of the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers joined the crew to discuss the possibility of being <a href="https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1871268035178450996" rel="noopener">fired by a teenager</a>.</p><p>“There’s a first time for everything,” Rodgers said with a laugh. “There’s been a few of those this year.

On the other hand, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-issues-stern-message-culture-loss-rams">New York Jets QB issued a stern message</a> about being a professional and playing well down the stretch. Let’s take a moment to shake our heads. Meanwhile, Rodgers chimed in with an interesting pay-cut admission over his future with the Jets.</p><p>Rodgers <a href="https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1871267761772773385" rel="noopener">bloviated his claim</a> on the Pat McAfee Show, according to a post on X.</p><p>“I tried to help Jordan Love as much as possible. If the new staff came in &amp; wanted me to be there &amp; also make a pick for the future, then of course. I haven’t decided whether or not I want to play moving forward &amp; they haven’t told me what their plans are” ~ @AaronRodgers12 #PMSLive</p><p>Rodgers then said, “As far as pay cuts, I think I’ve already proven I’m willing to take a pay cut. I’ve made a ton of money, and I think if you look at both Davante (Adams) and I’s contracts moving forward towards next year. There is cap numbers that would need to be worked around if they want to bring us both back.”</p><h2><b>Will Jets QB Aaron Rodgers return in 2025?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/New-York-Jets-QB-Aaron-Rodgers_a0c7e9.jpg"></figure><p>The answer is, perhaps, unfortunately, a possible yes. Rodgers said he hasn’t made up his mind.</p><p>“I haven’t decided whether or not I want to play moving forward,” Rodgers said. “They haven’t decided, or maybe they have and haven’t told me what their plans are moving forward. I’m guessing they are going to want to get a GM in here in the next few weeks. And then obviously let the GM be a part of making the coaching selection with who they want to go with.”</p><p>Rodgers said he could see a new general manager waltzing into town and telling the veteran quarterback to pack his bags.</p><p>“I think there’s a world where they just say, hey thank you, we’re going to go in a different direction January 6th,” Rodgers said.</p><p>Rodgers is signed for a cap hit of $23.5 million for 2025, with a $35 million option bonus due <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/3745/aaron-rodgers" rel="noopener">before the season</a>, per Spotrac.</p><p>Meanwhile, Adams is slated to make more than $35 million over the next two seasons. That total likely means a restructured contract or a release <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/jets-wr-davante-adams-contract-allows-him-to-control-his-future-for-2025-season" rel="noopener">ahead of free agency</a>, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.</p><p>It makes a ton of sense if the Jets move on from Rodgers. He recently turned 41 years old, and he’s only had one 300-yard passing game over the past few seasons. Rodgers has thrown for 3,511 yards this year with 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions. But his 4-11 record is the worst of his 20-year NFL career.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

To make matters worse, it seems that the 2024 season has only damaged the relationship between the organization and one of its best young players, wide receiver Garrett Wilson.</p><p>On Sunday, Wilson was barely involved for over three quarters as the Jets were held to single-digit scoring for the third time this year in a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-bad-admission-loss-rams">19-9 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams</a>. After the game, Wilson, who has been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-garrett-wilson-goes-ballistic-aaron-rodgers-heated-moment" rel="noopener">vocal in the past about wanting more touches</a>, once again made it clear he’d like to <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/43116134/new-york-jets-garrett-wilson-aaron-rodgers-week-16-loss" rel="noopener">see more balls coming his way</a>.</p><p>“I’d like to be involved, love to make an impact on the game, but people see it differently,” Wilson said after the game, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. “That’s out of my control.”</p><p>From the sounds of it, Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich agrees with what Wilson is saying because, on Monday morning, he <a href="https://x.com/snyjets/status/1871238073687646606" rel="noopener">echoed what the 24-year-old receiver had to say</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“At the end of the day, we’ve got to find ways to get Garrett the ball more often. He’s one of the best players on our team, if not one of the best players in this league, especially at his position.”</p><p>– Jeff Ulbrich on Garrett Wilson <a href="https://t.co/tjX3XUY4kP">pic.twitter.com/tjX3XUY4kP</a></p><p>— Jets Videos (@snyjets) <a href="https://twitter.com/snyjets/status/1871238073687646606?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 23, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>“The progression for a lot of different reasons from a coverage standpoint took him (Rodgers) off Garrett, but at the same time, we have to find ways to get him the ball,” Ulbrich continued. It should be noted that Garrett is averaging more yards (65.8) and more receptions (6.0) per game this year than he has during either of his two previous seasons with the Jets, though his targets in 2024 (9.4) are down slightly compared to where they were in 2023 (9.8).</p><p>Against the Rams, Garrett Wilson was targeted just 7 times and finished with six receptions for 54 yards. That was the same number of targets as tight end Tyler Conklin and six fewer than <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-davante-adams-admission-packers">popular Aaron Rodgers weapon Davante Adams</a>, who scored a touchdown for the fourth straight game. It should come as no surprise that since being traded from Las Vegas to New York, Adams has been the Jets’ most targeted receiver.</p><p>The 4-11 Jets head to Buffalo next Sunday before hosting the Miami Dolphins at home in their Week 18 season finale. We’ll see if Santa Claus delivers Wilson and the Jets a more favorable game plan over the next two weeks.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Gang Green’s quarterback spoke about the goals<a href="https://twitter.com/awfulannouncing/status/1871003479487168869" rel="noopener"> for the stretch run despite their elimination</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Aaron Rodgers on the Jets:</p><p>"You gotta figure out what it means to be a professional.

That’s an important part of building culture. The last two weeks we can really see who’s on board moving forward and who is ready to get out,” Rodgers said.</p><p>Rodgers is under contract for next year but a new coach and general manager will be arriving in Florham Park. This comment implies that Rodgers wants to be back with the Jets, which is what he has said. But with another top-ten pick and a 41-year-old quarterback, New York could take a signal caller.</p><p>The Jets have been brutal this season, with a 2-7 record in one-possession games and a 2-5 home record. While Rodgers started slow coming off the Achilles injury, he had strung together a solid run of games. But his inaccuracy and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-garrett-wilsons-blunt-take-on-lack-of-targets-in-crunch-time-vs-rams">failure to get Garrett Wilson involved in the offense</a> cost them this game.</p><h2><b>Should the Jets keep Aaron Rodgers? </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Aaron-Rodgers-with-NY-Jets-1.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Jets have been searching for a franchise quarterback for 50 years. Despite great stints by Ken O’Brein, Chad Pennington, and Mark Sanchez, none of them ever clinched “franchise” status. Zach Wilson was their most recent attempt and he was so bad in his first two years, they traded for Rodgers.</p><p>In his first year as the quarterback, Rodgers tore his Achilles on the fourth play of the season. After a year with a lot of talking in the media while rehabbing, he came back healthy this year. The Jets have been terrible this season largely because of Rodgers and their defense taking a significant step back.</p><p>The Jets may have no choice but to keep Aaron Rodgers. If he does not request a trade, he will be under contract for over $20 milion next season. He does not hit unrestricted free agency until 2026. If another team wants to take a gamble on Rodgers, the Jets should certainly take the call. But without someone else initiating it, it will be hard to move the quarterback.</p><p>Regardless of Rodgers’ desires, the Jets should take a quarterback at some point in the 2025 draft. Developing a rookie behind Rodgers or Tyrod Taylor would help create some hope at the position for the future.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It moved New York’s record to 4-11, further burying them in the AFC standings. Star wide receiver Garrett Wilson had only three targets and three catches heading into the Jets’ last drive. While he picked up three catches on four targets on that last drive, he was frustrated after the game. ESPN’s Rich Cimini asked him why he was <a href="https://x.com/RichCimini/status/1870955662651580802" rel="noopener">so uninvolved in the first 55 minutes</a>.</p><p>“I don’t know, to be honest with you,” Wilson said. “I just gotta go out and put my best foot forward and hope that things fall my way.

Despite a dysfunctional setup in year one, he won Offensive Rookie of the Year with 1,000 receiving yards.</p><p>Then, the Jets made the big trade for Aaron Rodgers. Garrett Wilson was seen as the biggest winner of the trade, considering he cracked the 1,000 mark with Wilson and Mike White in Year 1.

This is just another in a serious of body blows for the Jets during the 2024 season. Despite all the chaos, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-jeff-ulbrich-3-head-coaches-advice">Jeff Ulbrich is still proud of his team</a>.</p><p>Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said that <a href="https://x.com/Connor_J_Hughes/status/1870939214050975822" rel="noopener">every player should be “proud” of their effort</a> today, per Connor Hughes of SNY.</p><p>This may be a tough message to sell inside New York’s locker room. The Jets played a good half of football, entering halftime winning with a score of 9-6. However, New York allowed 13 unanswered points in the second half that let the game slip away.</p><p>New York played an incredible game on defense, but turnovers from the offense made this game unwinnable for the Jets. Aaron Rodgers and Xavier Gipson both lost fumbles in this game, which game the Rams enough life to win.</p><p>Rams QB Matthew Stafford was limited to 110 yards passing with Kyren Williams adding 122 yards and a touchdown on the ground.</p><h2><b>Huge Aaron Rodgers turnover dooms Jets during fourth quarter</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Aaron-Rodgers_d2c2d4.jpg"><figcaption>© Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>One crucial sequence during the fourth quarter was too much for the Jets to overcome.</p><p>While the game was tied at nine points each, Aaron Rodgers <a href="https://x.com/Connor_J_Hughes/status/1870944387816972629" rel="noopener">suffered a brutal sack</a> from Rams safety Kam Curl. As a result, Rodgers fumbled the ball and it was recovered by Rams rookie Jared Verse at the Jets 21-yard line.</p><p>Los Angeles took the ball and marched all the way down the field. Matthew Stafford connected with Tyler Higbee on a go-ahead 11-yard touchdown pass.</p><p>“That was bad, bad play,” Rodgers said about the sack-fumble, per Connor Hughes. Rodgers added that he felt that he should have gotten rid of the football.</p><p>New York also gave up two field goals during the fourth quarter to put the game away.</p><p>It is encouraging to see Rodgers and Adams continue to have a good connection. However, there is no guarantee that either player will still be a Jet at the start of the 2025 season.</p><p>Next up for the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/schedule/upcoming">Jets is a Week 17 matchup against the Bills</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Jets lost 19-9, and they <a href="https://x.com/RichCimini/status/1870936797208822170" rel="noopener">didn’t punt the ball</a> the entire game.</p><p>“This is the 2nd time since 1940 that a team has not punted in a game AND failed to score at least 10 points,” Jets reporter Rich Cimini wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “The other came on Sept. 1, 1991 (Week 1), when the Colts lost 16-7 to the Patriots. The 1991 Colts finished 1-15… the only win being over (who else?) the Jets.”</p><p>The Jets put up 321 total yards of offense, but they were not able to capitalize when it mattered. Aaron Rodgers also had a good game, throwing for 256 yards and a touchdown.</p><h2>Jets’ disappointing season continues</h2><p>With all the high expectations coming into the season surrounding the Jets, what they’ve done this season has been surprising. Aaron Rodgers was supposed to return from his Achilles injury and have a bounce-back year, but he hasn’t played well this season, and it’s affected the offense. Midway through the season, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/davante-adams-gets-brutally-honest-on-possible-regrets-about-jets-trade">Jets traded for Davante Adams</a> and hoped that the move would improve their offense, but they’ve only truly seen the returns of it the past few weeks.</p><p>The Jets have a lot of options on offense, but it’s obvious they needed better quarterback play to maximize the talent. There have been rumors about what the Jets will do with Rodgers next season, and if they will try to find another quarterback to lead the team.</p><p>The team also has to focus on finding a new head coach after firing Robert Saleh during the season. That decision will have a lot to do with what they do at quarterback and other positions on the team. It’s safe to say they may look a little different next year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This was the worst-case scenario for a Jets team that went all in on this season under QB Aaron Rodgers. Thankfully, the Jets got some somewhat positive injury news about one of their defensive stars.</p><p>The Jets plan to test Quinnen Williams’ hamstring on Sunday morning before their game against the Rams, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. If Willams can go, <a href="https://x.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1870806492221452403" rel="noopener">it will be in a limited role</a> according to sources.</p><p>If Williams is able to play on Sunday, he will give the Jets a big boost on defense. Williams is the anchor of New York’s defensive line and frees up other players to make huge plays. He is also a disruptive force in his own right.</p><p>2024 has been a somewhat down year for Williams. He has logged 35 total tackles with six sacks in 14 games played this season.</p><p>In other Jets injury news, running back Braelon Allen is good to go despite dealing with a back injury.</p><h2><b>Matthew Stafford explains why he’s excited to play Aaron Rodgers, Jets in Week 16</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Matthew-Stafford-with-LA-Rams-1.jpg"><figcaption>Gary A.

Obviously, meaningful football in the month of December is an awesome thing to be a part of,” Stafford told reporters on Thursday. “We’ve earned that, and we’ve got to continue to earn that opportunity to play games that matter. This just happens to be the next one on the list. I have a ton of respect for Aaron and have competed against him a bunch of times in my career. He’s a h*ll of a player and does a great job. He’s still doing a really good job for them. He played fantastic in the last couple of weeks. He looks to be healthy, moving around and doing his thing.”</p><p>These two former NFC North quarterbacks have had some tough battles over the years. Now Rodgers and Stafford are two of the oldest starting quarterbacks in the NFL, which highlights how long they’ve battled each other.</p><p>Jets vs. Rams should be an exciting game even though one team has nothing to play for. The game <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/schedule/upcoming">kicks off at 1PM ET on Sunday</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The specific story surrounded a rumor of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-how-jerry-jeudys-madden-rating-nuked-trade-jets">Jets owner Woody Johnson nixing a trade</a> for wide receiver Jerry Jeudy because of his rating in the popular video game which garnered a response from Peter Scharger.</p><p>Schrager was on “The Bill Simmons Podcast” where he spoke about the team and pushed back on the specific story due to sources he spoke to. He would say that New York didn’t get Jeudy because the Cleveland Browns<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAdL2R-T_Ds&amp;t=2031s" rel="noopener"> had more to offer</a> than them which is why the receiver currently plays there.</p><p>“The Madden thing, I’m not going to discredit that things like the Madden ratings could come into play,” Schrager said. “I’ve spoken to sources, the Jerry Jeudy trade wasn’t happening because the Cleveland Browns offered something better and that’s why. It wasn’t because his Madden rating wasn’t what it was.”</p><p>Speaking more about rumors surrounding how <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-woody-johnson-teen-sons-accused-meddling-bashing-jets-players">Johnson’s teen sons are involved in decision-making</a>, Schrager would say how around the team they are.</p><h2><b>Woody Johnson’s sons “are around” the Jets </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Woody-Johnson-on-Dec.-8-2024.jpg"><figcaption>Jasen Vinlove-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>He would have some empathy for one of the owner’s sons, Brick, and how he hears how he’s a “good kid,” but gets “lambasted” in the reporting from The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.</p><p>“You go to these Jets games and you see the sons in pregame and they look cool, they’ve got the blazers on and they got the sunglasses on and they’re walking the sidelines,” Schrager said. “This is a freshman at Harvard and a kid in boarding school their dad and mom own the New York Jets and they have all access to do, like I don’t spite the kids and I don’t spite the owner, but what it is, it is true these kids are around and I feel bad for Brick the older one because everyone says he is a good kid and he’s getting lambasted in the article.”</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-davante-adams-reunites-aaron-rodgers-trade-raiders">Jets would instead trade for Davante Adams</a> instead of Jeudy, but the latter is having the better season recording 70 catches for 1,052 yards and four touchdowns, all but the scores being career-highs. Jeudy would even respond to the rumors about Madden ratings deciding his fate with the team, calling it <a href="https://x.com/DanielOyefusi/status/1869824407994290494" rel="noopener">“fake news,”</a> according to Daniel Oyefusi.</p><p>“To be honest, I don’t believe it,” Jeudy said. “I think that’s fake news… Why would somebody look at Madden rating.

I don’t think that real, but it’s funny.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Browns WR Jerry Jeudy said he doesn’t believe the report that Jets owner Woody Johnson vetoed a trade because his Madden rating (81) was too low. <a href="https://t.co/qH3S2c7L60">pic.twitter.com/qH3S2c7L60</a></p><p>— Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) <a href="https://twitter.com/DanielOyefusi/status/1869824407994290494?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 19, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>At any rate, the Jets are amidst a disappointing season where Johnson looks to hire a general manager and a head coach for next year as they are currently 4-10.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Chiefs the betting favorite to trade for Jets’ Garrett Wilson

The Jets have made a number of impulsive moves this season, including <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-jets-raiders-davante-adams-trade">trading for Davante Adams</a> and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-fire-robert-saleh-after-lackluster-start-to-season">firing head coach Robert Saleh</a>. Nothing is certain about the future of the Jets, including their controversial quarterback.</p><p>ESPN’s Dan Graziano has no love lost for Jets QB Aaron Rodgers. He <a href="https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/id/43075262" rel="noopener">dropped a bold take</a> about Rodgers and his future in New York via ESPN’s Unsportsmanlike on Friday.</p><p>“Aaron Rodgers is a con artist, he’s a narcissist, he’s self absorbed to the absolute maximum. And if he has you fooled, again, that’s on you,” Graziano said. “If the Jets go back to Aaron Rodgers next year they deserve what they get and it will not be good. They know this, they’ve lived it for the last two years, like this is not the answer. If some team wants to do that too bad for them, but if the team that it just happened to wants it to happen to them again, than there is no fixing that.”</p><p>The Rodgers era in New York has been a complete mess. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-aaron-rodgers-jaw-dropping-recovery-from-achilles-injury">Rodgers infamously tore his Achilles</a> four plays into his Jets tenure. Now he is finally healthy and the Jets are only 4-10.</p><p>Rodgers <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2024/12/19/aaron-rodgers-ryan-clark-beef-jets-espn/77082926007/" rel="noopener">has been in a feud recently</a> with ESPN’s Ryan Clark, so perhaps Graziano is responding to that in a way.</p><p>Rodgers also has a new Netflix series that recently launched, which could be another reason why Graziano decided to talk about Rodgers now.</p><h2><b>Graziano will ‘eat his sock’ if Aaron Rodgers starts for Jets in 2025</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Aaron-Rodgers-1-2.jpg"><figcaption>Sam Navarro-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>This is not the first time that Graziano has taken a shot at Rodgers.</p><p>Earlier in December, Graziano made a confident claim that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-insider-eat-sock-aaron-rodgers-starts-jets-2025">Rodgers will not be the starter for the Jets in 2025</a>.</p><p>“A head coach and a GM have lost their jobs because they tied themselves to him and built the entire team around the idea that Rodgers would be the difference. He has been the difference, but completely opposite of what they expected and hoped. The team is terrible. The team culture is either terrible or nonexistent.”</p><p>Graziano also made a gross claim to punctuate his statement.</p><p>“I still wouldn’t be surprised to see the Jets bench him or move on before the end of this season,” Graziano said. “I’ll eat one of my socks if Rodgers is starting for the Jets next season.”</p><p>It will be interesting to see how the Jets approach the upcoming offseason.

Team owner Woody Johnson, seeking to identify inefficiencies, invited several members of his investment group to participate in critical football operations meetings. Dubbed “The Bobs” by employees, a reference to the efficiency consultants in the cult classic Office Space, this group <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6005172/2024/12/19/woody-johnson-jets-madden-sons/?source=emp_shared_article" rel="noopener">has reportedly sparked unease</a> among staff members, per NYTimes</p><p>Over the past year, these consultants have interviewed Jets employees and examined internal processes. A spokesperson for the team praised the initiative, stating it addressed gaps in communication and collaboration, while emphasizing Johnson’s openness to independent feedback. However, not everyone shares that sentiment. Some within the organization feel constrained, suggesting that open discussions about potential improvements are stifled by an environment of apprehension.</p><p>“There’s no comfortable way to say what needs to be said,” one executive admitted, highlighting a pervasive sense of caution among staff. Meanwhile, the Jets spokesperson strongly disagreed with these claims, pointing to the franchise’s recognition as a top workplace in New Jersey.</p><p>Despite this, the introduction of “The Bobs” appears to have heightened tensions, leaving employees divided on whether these changes represent progress or further dysfunction.</p><h2>Leadership Shifts and Cultural Shifts</h2><p>The Jets’ organizational dynamics shifted significantly when Woody Johnson returned from his diplomatic post in 2021. Under Christopher Johnson’s leadership during Woody’s absence, the team operated with a more relaxed, hands-off approach. Christopher, described as approachable and egoless, trusted his hires to make decisions. Former staff members recall a laid-back atmosphere where collaboration thrived.</p><p>The return of Woody, however, marked a shift. Known for his more direct involvement, Woody quickly reasserted control, leaving some employees longing for the quieter leadership style of Christopher. “Chris was so reserved you might not even notice him in the room,” a former executive noted, contrasting his leadership style with Woody’s more assertive presence.</p><p>As the Jets face another offseason of upheaval, they must grapple with critical decisions, including the futures of their head coach, general manager, and potentially even Aaron Rodgers. These choices rest firmly with Woody Johnson, whose leadership style continues to shape the trajectory of the franchise. Whether this approach can deliver long-term stability remains the Jets’ most pressing question.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In fact, the Jets <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1869835543846236516" rel="noopener">interviewed one of the top names</a> in the NFL draft community— the executive director of the Reese’s Senior Bowl— Jim Nagy, per Adam Schefter on X.</p><p>After it was revealed that the Jets’ owner, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-how-jerry-jeudys-madden-rating-nuked-trade-jets">Woody Johnson, uses Madden ratings to make business decisions</a>, it appears they want someone more well-connected to incoming NFL athletes. With Nagy’s experience in scouting and his current endeavor with the Senior Bowl, it’s not completely shocking that the Jets would want him.</p><p>However, being an NFL general manager takes much more than just being able to hit on draft prospects.</p><p>Given who’s running the show in East Rutherford, NJ, optimism isn’t at an all-time high.</p><h2><b>Jet’s GM search continues with Senior Bowl’s Jim Nagy</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Woody-Johnson.jpg"><figcaption>Barry Reeger-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Under Douglas as the Jets’ general manager for six seasons, the team went 31-66, missing the playoffs each year.</p><p>Now, as the Jets look to start over following their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-aaron-rodgers-2024-disaster">failed Aaron Rodgers experiment</a>, they interviewed one of the top names in the NFL draft, thinking that might save their franchise from another decade of despair.</p><p>However, with Johnson running the show in New Jersey, it’s hard to believe that any good will come from the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-gm-candidates-emerge-interviews-underway">Jets’ next general manager hire</a>.</p><p>For most teams wanting to succeed in the NFL, their owners aren’t too involved in the— for lack of a better term— football stuff.</p><p>Good owners are less involved with football and more involved with money. However, the Jets have a general manager who wants to be involved on the football side, yet, won’t spend money.</p><p>And considering the team’s 179-229 record under Johnson— including a 6-6 record in the playoffs over 25 years— it’s fair to say he hasn’t done the best job.</p><p>Now, maybe Nagy is the next up-and-coming NFL general manager. Maybe his 18 years as an NFL scout and his time with the Reese’s Senior Bowl make Nagy a great fit as a general manager.</p><p>With one interview down, it’ll be interesting to see if Nagy is one of the final candidates for the Jets’ general manager position.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Jets have already been eliminated from playoff contention and are counting down the days to what should be an eventful offseason.</p><p>Many people within the Jets organization expected owner Woody Johnson to be away from the team in 2025. During the first Trump administration, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-donald-trump-reason-woody-johnson-step-back-jets">Johnson was appointed as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom</a>. When that happened, Woody’s brother Christopher assumed day-to-day operations as the owner of the Jets.</p><p>However, that will not happen again in 2025.</p><p>Trump <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6005172/2024/12/19/woody-johnson-jets-madden-sons/?source=emp_shared_article" rel="noopener">appointed Arkansas investment banker Warren Stephens</a> to the same role on December 2nd, per The Athletic.. This suggests that Trump will not appoint Woody Johnson to any position in January. Sources within the Jets organization told The Athletic that the decision came as a complete surprise to Woody Johnson.</p><p>As a result, Johnson will be able to remain as the owner of Jets moving forward.</p><p>That may sound like bad news to some Jets fans, who would love anyone but Johnson to be at the helm of the organization.</p><h2><b>Woody Johnson rumored to have stopped Jerry Jeudy Jets trade because of Madden rating</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Woody-Johnson-1.jpg"><figcaption>Barry Reeger-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The same article from The Athletic was filled with odd anecdotes relating to Woody Johnson’s decisions running the Jets.</p><p>One of those stories features a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-how-jerry-jeudys-madden-rating-nuked-trade-jets">potential trade between the Jets and Broncos involving Jerry Jeudy</a>. Johnson broke up the trade for a peculiar reason.</p><p>“Douglas and his Broncos counterpart, George Paton, were deep in negotiations for a trade that would have sent Jeudy to the Jets and given future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers another potential playmaker. The Broncos felt a deal was near. Then, abruptly, it all fell apart. In Denver’s executive offices, they couldn’t believe the reason why. Douglas told the Broncos that Johnson didn’t want to make the trade because the owner felt Jeudy’s player rating in “Madden NFL,” the popular video game, wasn’t high enough, according to multiple league sources,” Zack Rosenblatt, Dianna Russini, and Michael Silver of The Athletic reported.</p><p>It is concerning to learn that Johnson meddled in the football operations of his team. It is even worse to learn that he had such a trivial reason for stopping a trade.</p><p>Ultimately, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-restructure-jerry-jeudy-contract-after-broncos-trade">Browns ended up acquiring Jeudy from the Broncos</a> shortly afterward.</p><p>Jeudy is having a career season in Cleveland, hauling in 70 receptions for 1,052 yards and four touchdowns. All of those stats aside from touchdowns are career bests.</p><p>The Jets may not have had a more successful season with Jeudy on the team. However, the process by which that trade was killed represents one of the biggest problems within the Jets organization.</p><p>It will be fascinating to see how the Jets approach fixing their terrible situation this offseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
