Jets owner Woody Johnson defended quarterback Mark Sanchez but said the team's commitment to him won't prevent them from investigating other options.
Johnson, in a meeting with the team's beat writers, said wide receiver Santonio Holmes' future with the team was also secure. Holmes signed a five-year, $45 million deal in July as an unrestricted free agent but was criticized and accused of quitting by teammates following a Week 17 loss at Miami that eliminated the Jets from playoff contention.
"They've won a lot of games together, and one is good for the other," Johnson said, per the Newark Star-Ledger. "Santonio makes the quarterback a lot better, and vice versa. So they have a good reason to iron this thing out.
