Wolfe said the incident happened at the party on Tuesday night and claimed,
“At the owner’s meetings, there was a very heated conversation between Woody and Robert Saleh to the point where it was a little awkward.”
Wolfe had clarified about what they were going after each other, or not clear on “what were they arguing about?”. Jokingly said,
“Maybe they were disagreeing on how they like their steak cooked. Doubt that, though, just a heated discussion.”
Clearly, the exact conversation was about is vague, but Wolfe emphasized that it was only those two engaging in the discussion.
Conner Hughes, a local reporter who covers the Jets for SNY, on contrary posted on social media.
“There was no verbal argument between Robert Saleh and Woody Johnson at the NFL’s annual meeting reception. I know because I was at the party where this apparently happened, feet from Saleh & Johnson before the Johnson & Jets contingent left. Woody took them out to dinner. Checked in with two sources at the dinner. Confirmed nothing happened there, either.”
The New York Jets had entered last season with sky-high expectations after acquiring the four-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers in a blockbuster trade with the Green Bay Packers.
QB Rodgers suffered a season-ending Achilles tear just minutes into his New York debut. He went down with an Achilles injury during the season opener.
Following, the Jets struggled at the quarterback position, and finished the season with a 7-10 record for the second consecutive year.
