Jets Owner Considered Benching Aaron Rodgers After Week 4
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson reportedly suggested benching quarterback Aaron Rodgers after a 2-2 start to the season, favoring backup Tyrod Taylor. Despite resistance from then-head coach Robert Saleh and GM Joe Douglas, Rodgers remained the starter. The Jets later lost to the Vikings in London, leading to Saleh's firing. Johnson's UK ties and potential return to a diplomatic role may have influenced his decision-making. The Jets have since appointed Phil Savage as their new GM, following Douglas's dismissal.
