The big guy knows a guy, OK.
Mike Francesa said he recently “bumped into someone I have a high regard for and I know knows the situation” about the Jets, and the individual shared some information that surprised the WFAN legend.
(No word on if this source’s name rhymes with “Bike Mannenbaum.”)
Francesa said he was sure the Jets will deny and/or take umbrage with the intel, but he opted to share it anyway on his latest BetRivers podcast.
The Gang Green scuttlebutt:
• Owner Woody Johnson has given GM Darren Mougey more power than head coach Aaron Glenn
• Mougey’s positive press may be a reflection of his new internal standing
• Mougey, not Johnson, blocked Wink Martindale’s hire as defensive coordinator
• Mougey drove the Geno Smith trade
• Glenn was more interested in Kirk Cousins
• The Glenn-Mougey relationship “is not so buddy-buddy”
All of the above is certainly plausible.
