Pegula said<\/a>. \u201cThat was Brandon being a team player. \u2026 He\u2019s taken heat over it. I\u2019m here to tell you the true story.\u201d<\/p>\nThat actually happened. <\/p>\n
By the way, Coleman still has another two years of his rookie deal with the Bills. In one answer, Buffalo has essentially called into question his future with the team and every bad draft selection the organization has ever made. <\/p>\n
Pegula\u2019s decision to deflect blame for poor draft decisions onto a recently fired coach (who led the team to eight playoff wins) is stunning. It\u2019s the lack of accountability that every NFL organization will not soon forget.<\/p>\n
It also adds a new perspective to a team like the Jets. New York may be bad, but Woody Johnson and the front office haven\u2019t really pulled a stunt like that before. <\/p>\n
Jets\u2019 new perspective<\/p>\n
Like every owner in the NFL, Johnson can be hands-on when he wants to be, and in the shadows when he doesn\u2019t. The fact that the Jets have missed the postseason for the last 15 years is an indictment of him and his decisions within the organization. <\/p>\n
No one can argue that. Johnson owns as much blame regarding the Jets\u2019 struggles as any coach, player, or executive.<\/p>\n
Nothing that Johnson has done, though, compares to what Pegula just did. Buffalo\u2019s ownership group spoke so poorly of a player still on the roster that one has to question whether Coleman will want to leave at some point this offseason.<\/p>\n
He has to, right? How do you go to work when the person passing out your checks told the world he never wanted you in the first place?<\/p>\n
Johnson has had his share of comments criticizing players in the past. Quarterback Zach Wilson and Justin Fields have each drawn the Jets owner\u2019s ire over the last few seasons. <\/p>\n
But New York had plans to fix those issues. They brought in Aaron Rodgers in 2023 following Wilson\u2019s struggles, and have four top-45 picks in the upcoming 2026 draft to replace Fields.<\/p>\n
No one can deny that Johnson\u2019s outlook on the quarterback position is wrong. <\/p>\n
Buffalo\u2019s struggles this season go well beyond the receiver position. They also hinge on the fact that Beane hasn\u2019t been a very good general manager. For Pegula to defend the team\u2019s top executive by trashing the prior coaching staff and current players on the roster is shocking. <\/p>\n
Not to mention, the Bills just interviewed their offensive coordinator, Joe Brady, for their head coaching position. Does Pegula realize that Brady was a part of the same coaching staff that he just trashed for wanting to take Coleman?<\/p>\n
The owner\u2019s comments were ignorant and out of touch.<\/p>\n
It shows that, while Johnson may not be the greatest owner in the world, most of the other 31 owners are no different\u2014it\u2019s just that some of them have a quarterback like Josh Allen to hide it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"And New York Jets fans thought owner Woody Johnson was bad.
