Jets owner ready to find 'missing piece' QB, return to playoffs

Jets head coach Robert Saleh believes purported franchise quarterback Zach Wilson needs a break. The owner of the New York franchise might be more willing to offer a permanent vacation.

Woody Johnson said Thursday that he's willing to spend big money this offseason to bring in a veteran the owner believes is "kind of the missing piece."

"We've got to get better faster," Johnson said of the Jets, who fired offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur and could make other changes to reset the offensive side of the roster.

Johnson said "full autonomy" was granted for Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas to make changes.
