Jets owner Woody Johnson denies ‘irresponsible’ NFL Network report about ‘heated conversation’ with Robert Saleh
NY Post
Jets owner Woody Johnson has denied an NFL Network report that he had a “very heated conversation” with Robert Saleh.
The NFL owners meetings are taking place in Orlando this week, and this is where the dispute was said to take place.
“All this nonsense about a heated argument between Coach Saleh and me at the League Meeting is absolutely false. It is yet another irresponsible report from NFL Network. Please disregard,” Johnson posted Thursday on X.
The story had started to circulate on Wednesday when NFL Network host Colleen Wolfe revealed the alleged interaction on the “Around the NFL” program.
“Regarding my comments surrounding the Jets on the @AroundTheNFL podcast: no, I was not at the Annual Meeting and yes, I was told of the exchange between head coach Robert Saleh & Woody Johnson by someone in attendance,” she wrote.
“Others on-site Sunday night have since reached out and described the interaction differently. My intent wasn’t to break news, I leave that to the insiders. My sincerest apologies to the Jets organization for the unnecessary distraction during such a crucial part of their offseason.”
