FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Woody Johnson never stopped being the Jets’ owner during his four-plus years as the United State Ambassador to the United Kingdom, but this is nevertheless a fresh start of sorts. And a refreshing one, at that, given the sense of optimism now emanating from a team with a new coach, a new quarterback and newfound front-office stability.
"There’s a certain element of being a new owner, in a way," Johnson said Wednesday in his first remarks to Jets reporters since returning from his overseas assignment.
