Woody Johnson’s Jets return comes with promise: ‘All about winning’

Jets owner Woody Johnson is back after four years away from the team and promises his struggling franchise is going to turn it around.

“We’ll do everything in our power to put a winning team on the field this year, this game, the first game, the second game, the third game,” Johnson said Wednesday. “It’s all about winning. We’re in the win business. We didn’t sign up for this to lose. None of our players want to lose. They’re not used to losing, and we don’t want to get them used to losing.” Johnson spoke to reporters for the first time since returning to the team in January. He spent the past four years as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom. Johnson, 74, said he has been encouraged since returning by the feeling inside the organization and what he has seen from general manager Joe Douglas and new coach Robert Saleh — two men hired by Johnson’s brother Christopher, who ran the team during Woody’s absence.
