Jets employees all asking same Woody Johnson question after Trump’s election win

Could Jets owner Woody Johnson be on his way back to London?

That is what everyone around the team is wondering after Donald Trump won Tuesday’s presidential election.

Johnson, who was in Mar-a-Lago to celebrate with Trump on Tuesday night, served as the ambᴀssador to the United Kingdom during Trump’s first term as president, leaving the Jets for 3 ¹/₂ years while he was in London.

No one knows if Trump will give Johnson a second appointment, but many people inside the Jets have believed for months that there was a strong possibility Johnson would depart again if Trump returned to the White House.

A team spokesman declined comment.

If Johnson does return to London, it’s not likely to happen soon.

Last time, Johnson was not appointed by Trump until June 2017.

That means if it is a similar timeline, Johnson will be here to oversee the Jets’ coaching hire in January, as well as the decision on whether to retain general manager Joe Douglas.

Johnson could also set the budget and the direction for the team entering the 2025 season.

Christopher Johnson, Woody’s brother, took over the day-to-day supervision of the team when Woody was overseas last time.

Christopher did not have much success, with seasons of 5-11, 4-12, 7-9 and 2-14 on his watch.

He fired coach Todd Bowles, hired Adam Gase, fired GM Mike Maccagnan and hired Douglas. Christopher also hired Robert Saleh just before Woody returned to the team in January 2021.

Jets fans have not been enamored with Woody Johnson lately.

They chanted “sell the team” during the first half of last week’s win over the Texans.

Johnson is not selling, but he may be heading back across the Atlantic.
