The deal would have given the team another young wide receiver to build their offense around, but there was just one issue: His Madden rating was too low for Johnson\u2019s liking.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously. Woody Johnson \u201cdid his own research,\u201d which apparently consisted of him firing up his gaming counsel and checking out Jeudy\u2019s Madden rating. And when he noticed the 25-year-old former first-round pick was only an 81 before the start of the 2024 campaign, he nixed the deal.<\/p>\n<div id=\"incontent-ad-1\" class=\"pw-incontent\" data-label=\"Advertisement\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"pw-ad-scroll-container pw-clearfix\" data-pw-in-article=\"true\">\n<div class=\"pw-ad-container-logo\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Joe Douglas had an offseason trade lined up for then-Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy.<\/p>\n<p>Jets owner Woody Johnson did his own research \u2014 on Madden \u2014 and decided Jeudy wasn&#8217;t worth the price, a source said.<\/p>\n<p>More from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DMRussini?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DMRussini<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZackBlatt?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ZackBlatt<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeSilver?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MikeSilver<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KZ8dROhyCl\">https:\/\/t.co\/KZ8dROhyCl<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1KtbePGole\">pic.twitter.com\/1KtbePGole<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Athletic (@TheAthletic) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheAthletic\/status\/1869713102956306783?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 19, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Woody Johnson nixed a trade for Jerry Jeudy last offseason because he felt his Madden rating was too low.<\/p>\n<p>Sources describe his impulsive over-involvement as the root of the Jets&#8217; dysfunction.<\/p>\n<p>More, with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZackBlatt?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ZackBlatt<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeSilver?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MikeSilver<\/a>, and me: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OYf5plIVHM\">https:\/\/t.co\/OYf5plIVHM<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uYHCKAMCFX\">pic.twitter.com\/uYHCKAMCFX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dianna Russini (@DMRussini) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DMRussini\/status\/1869712195032080657?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 19, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Blocking the deal alone wouldn\u2019t have been the worst decision for Johnson and the Jets.
