New York Jets owner Woody Johnson is willing to do what it takes to get his team into the playoffs, and that includes spending big to potentially land a veteran quarterback
After battling through injury and two benchings this season, Johnson acknowledged that he’s seen Wilson’s confidence level go down but added that he believes his former first-round pick still has"unbelievable talent."
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson sits on the bench during the first half of an NFL football game against the Tennessee Titans, Sunday, Oct. 3, 2021, in East Rutherford.Despite his confidence in Wilson, Johnson said he would"absolutely" be willing to spend to get a veteran quarterback on the roster.
"We've got a cap, so there's an amount you can spend. But, yeah, yeah, that's kind of the missing piece," he said via ESPN. "Defense was an unbelievable story that you saw this year, from last place to close to the top in defense in terms of points and in terms of any measurable. And if you could do the same thing on offense, I mean, it looks pretty good. Right? Our special teams is good. Brant Boyer, great coach. So, I think we're set. It's just [we] have to deal with the offense and the quarterback.
