Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy had a hysterical response to rumors that New York Jets owner Woody Johnson nixed a trade for him because of his ‘Madden’ video game rating.
A stunning report by Zack Rosenblatt, Dianna Russini and Michael Silver of The Athletic reported that Johnson legitimately vetoed a blockbuster trade involving Jerry Jeudy with the Denver Broncos “because the owner felt Jeudy’s player rating in “Madden NFL,” the popular video game, wasn’t high enough.”
Taking to X/Twitter, Jeudy responded to the rumor by jokingly stating that he blames former NFL star wide receiver Chad Ochocinco for the trade falling apart. Ochocinco is a player ratings adjuster for the video game franchise.
I blame 😂 @ochocinco

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
