How Donald Trump’s Election Win Could Impact the New York Jets

The potential re-election of Donald Trump has sparked discussions about its impact on the New York Jets, a team owned by Woody Johnson. During Trump’s first term as president, Woody Johnson was appointed as the US Ambassador to the United Kingdom, a role he held from 2017 to 2021. This appointment led to his younger brother, Christopher Johnson, taking over the day-to-day operations of the Jets.

If Woody Johnson is appointed as the Ambassador to the UK again, he would have to relinquish his day-to-day control of the team, similar to what happened during Trump’s first term. Christopher Johnson, who managed the team during this period, is well-respected by players and coaches for his authenticity and commitment. He was instrumental in hiring General Manager Joe Douglas, firing Coach Adam Gase, and hiring Coach Robert Saleh before Woody Johnson returned to the team in 2021.

The Jets, currently with a 3-6 record after winning their first game under Coach Jeff Ulbrich in Week 9, face significant decisions if they do not improve their performance. These decisions could include changes in leadership, such as the potential departure of General Manager Joe Douglas and Coach Robert Saleh, and possibly even quarterback Aaron Rodgers if the team does not meet its potential.
