Jets owner Woody Johnson denies ‘irresponsible’ NFL Network report about ‘heated conversation’ with Robert Saleh

Jets owner Woody Johnson has denied an NFL Network report that he had a “very heated conversation” with Robert Saleh.

The NFL owners’ meetings are taking place in Orlando this week, and this is where the dispute was said to take place.

“All this nonsense about a heated argument between Coach Saleh and me at the League Meeting is absolutely false.  It is yet another irresponsible report from NFL Network.  Please disregard,” Johnson posted Thursday on X.

The story had started to circulate on Wednesday when NFL Network host Colleen Wolfe revealed the alleged interaction on the “Around the NFL” program.

“From a very reliable source at the owners’ meetings, there was a very heated conversation between Woody and Robert Saleh, to the point where it was a little awkward,” Wolfe said. “What were they arguing about?”

She said it happened at the party at the owners’ meetings on Tuesday night.

“Hey, who knows? Could’ve been about anything,” Wolfe continued.

“Maybe they were disagreeing about how they like their steak cooked. Doubt that, though.”

She clarified that she “wouldn’t say argument — just a heated discussion … What were they discussing?”

Saleh is entering his fourth season as the Jets’ head coach.

The Jets have an 18-33 record during his tenure, though last year’s 7-10 campaign was seen as something of a “mulligan” season after Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles on the team’s fourth snap from scrimmage.

“My decision is to keep them,” Johnson told The Post of Saleh in December prior to the end of the season. “I think we’ve had some very positive moves. The culture of the team is a lot better. The defense is better. The offense needs a few pieces.”
