FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Because of unusual circumstances, New York Jets chairman Woody Johnson wasn't involved in the hiring of coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas. Essentially, he inherited them, but the longtime owner professed his confidence in the new leadership tandem.
"They've got a tremendous amount of leeway," Johnson said Wednesday, speaking to the football media for the first time in four years. "I'm totally in sync with these guys. Chris (Johnson) made some unbelievable choices and we're lucky to get both of those gentlemen.
"I couldn't be more excited," he continued.
