A report from The Athletic outlined the dysfunction within the Jets' organization, including the team owner using "Madden" ratings to influence decision-making.

Jeudy had a laugh about the latest story detailing Jets dysfunction, in which ownership shut down a trade for him over his Madden rating.

The Athletic released a piece on the state of the 4-10 Jets and a report in that feature stated that Johnson did not want to acquire wide receiver Jerry Jeudy from the Denver Broncos last offseason… because of his rating in the EA Sports NFL video game, “Madden 25.”

After reports that Madden Ratings prevented Jerry Jeudy from being traded to the New York Jets this past offseason, the Cleveland Browns reacted to the news

A new report says the NFL team’s owner nixed a trade for the former Alabama All-American over a video-game number.

Browns receiver Jerry Jeudy is amused by a report that Jets owner Woody Johnson didn't trade for him because his 'Madden NFL' video game rating 'wasn’t high enough.'

The level of Woody Johnson's ineptitude and interfering nature as owner of the New York Jets are even more absurd than it seemed as the franchise is mired

In a ridiculous display of ownership meddling, the Browns reportedly got their lead receiver thanks to a low "Madden NFL" rating.

One of the most surprising (and silliest revelations) was that Johnson’s football knowledge wasn’t solely based in watching games. Instead, he reportedly defaulted to EA Sports and its player ratings for the Madden series of video games.

To some, the reference to the video game ratings is a sign of Johnson allowing his teenage sons, Brick and Jack, to influence the franchise.

The Jets reportedly discussed trading for Jerry Jeudy during the 2024 NFL offseason. Owner Woody Johnson decided not to allow the trade.
