New York Jets owner Woody Johnson has reportedly purchased the majority ownership stake in the soccer club Crystal Palace F.C. of the English Premier League, the Athletic reported on Monday (June 23).

Johnson has reportedly purchased John Textor's 43% stake in the club, which is reportedly worth an estimated 190 million pounds ($254 million), the BBC reports. The Johnson & Johnson heir purchased the Jets for $635 million in 2000 and the franchise was estimated to be valued at $6.9 billion as recently as August 2024, according to Forbes.

Earlier this year, Johnson, 77, was reported to be the only NFL owner to receive an F from his own players, while the Jets ranked 29th overall in 11 categories in 2025, dropping eight spots from their 21st overall ranking in 2024, ESPN reported. The Jets players "cite perceived top leadership issues, with some describing issues as 'top-down problems," according to the NFLPA, which acknowledged that Jets ownership had dropped from a B- grade to an F in one year, with Johnson receiving the lowest score for contributing to a positive team culture.

"Rather than addressing concerns, players believed that management responded to feedback by making conditions worse," the NFLPA said via ESPN.

Johnson claimed that the NFL Players Association survey was "totally bogus" while addressing the report earlier this year.

"The whole thing," Johnson responded when asked what specifically he was referring to during the NFL League Meetings in Palm Beach, Florida, on March 31 via ESPN.
