  "account": "As the 2026 NFL season approaches, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson is reportedly showing strong interest in hiring former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. Despite the Jets finishing with only three wins last season, they are reportedly eager to shake up their coaching staff. Tomlin, currently head coach of the Steelers, is a coach with a strong reputation and a proven track record.\n\nMoreover, Jets are also interested in securing the services of Lamar Jackson, the two-time MVP quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens. Jackson is currently navigating a critical period in his career, with ongoing contract negotiations. He carries a cap hit of $84.5 million for 2027, and has no-trade or no-tag clauses in his contract. Given the long-term nature of his contract, the possibility of Jackson exploring trade options exists, and the Jets' deep draft capital could make them an attractive destination for the star quarterback.",
