More stunning implications from @TheAthletic 🤯🤯🤯
• Johnson unilaterally fired Robert Saleh on Oct. 8 without consulting anyone.
• Johnson blocked Bryce Huff’s extension wishes from Douglas.
• Johnson nixed a Douglas trade offering Lazard and a Day 2 pick for Jerry Jeudy.
• Woody Johnson’s micromanagement of JD escalated after forcing Douglas to fire close friend Rex Hogan. Following the move, it’s “theorized” Douglas told staffers, “Woody should just fire me now.”
• When Chad Alexander (Douglas’ top advisor) left for the Chargers, Johnson blocked Douglas from replacing him, further diminishing his authority.
• Haason Reddick held out after Johnson refused to negotiate a contract extension.
• Tyron Smith and Mike Williams signings were Johnson-driven.
• Johnson pushed for the Davante Adams trade.
• Johnson benched Tony Adams against the wishes of the coaching staff.
• Rodgers likely won’t return, with Johnson preferring to move on.
