Jets owner Woody Johnson is reportedly the reason why Gang Green didn’t make an offer to New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr as the team set it sights on Aaron Rodgers.\u00a0 This, according to NFL insider Matthew Berry.\u00a0 In discussing the “buzz”<\/strong><\/a> going on this past weekend at the NFL scouting combine, Berry had this to say about Carr and the Jets:<\/p>\n

As long as we are talking big-name quarterbacks, despite all the rumors of Derek Carr<\/a>\u00a0going to the Jets, one thing that held that up was that Jets owner\u00a0Woody Johnson<\/a>\u00a0really wants\u00a0Aaron Rodgers<\/a>. So, the staff has had to be supportive of that. However, secretly, the rest of the team’s front office wanted\u00a0Derek Carr<\/a>. Now that Carr is reportedly signing with New Orleans, the Jets are in \u201cHoping for Rodgers\u201d mode. If that doesn’t work out\u2026 who knows?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As we speculated just hours ago, it appears Johnson is heavily involved in the team’s pursuit for a quarterback and ownership was happy to let Carr walk while they wait on Rodgers, whose future is known only to the quarterback.<\/p>\n
