Woody: Tebow 'not really' helping business so far

Many expected Tim Tebow's arrival to spur a flurry of jersey, personal seat license and ticket sales.

However, owner Woody Johnson said today that the Jets haven't seen any increased business results since landing arguably the NFL's most popular player last month in a trade that still has the league buzzing.

“Not really," Johnson said in an interview on Fox Business Network. "Jerseys aren’t really our main line of business. Our main line of business is winning games. I expect if we do well, we will continue to sell. We’re pretty well sold out on PSLs despite what you read about.”

Johnson tried his hand at a little humor when asked if bringing Tebow on board was something that fell mostly on his shoulders.

“If it’s a good decision, if he turns out to be a great player," Johnson said, "I will take full accountability for that.”

Johnson is eager to see how things will start shaking out with Tebow once the players reconvene for the Jets' voluntary offseason program. They begin organized team activities (OTAs) in six days and Tebow is expected to participate.

“He comes back this Monday," Johnson said. "I am very excited to see what impact he’s gonna have. I think he’s a lot like [New Jersey] Governor [Chris] Christie. He is what he is. He’s true to his beliefs. He’s not afraid to tell you what he believes in.

"I think he will be a very positive influence in the locker room and I think he will help us win a lot of games.”

Asked if he thinks the team is completely sold on Tebow, Johnson said: “We’ll find out. ... So we’ll see how that works out. From what I hear from the people who played with him in Florida and the Broncos, he is going be well-liked.”
