New York Jets owner Woody Johnson used social media Thursday to refute a claim by an NFL Network host that he and coach Robert Saleh engaged in a "very heated conversation" earlier this week at the NFL's annual league meetings in Orlando, Florida, Rich Cimini of ESPN New York reports.

"All this nonsense about a heated argument between Coach Saleh and me at the league meeting is absolutely false," Johnson said on X. "It is yet another irresponsible report from NFL Network. Please disregard."

It's unusual for Johnson, 76, to respond in this manner, but he evidently felt compelled after a comment by NFL Network's Colleen Wolfe gained traction late Wednesday.

On the "Around the NFL" podcast, Wolfe said she heard about the alleged Johnson-Saleh dispute from a "very reliable source." She said it occurred at the NFL's cocktail reception on Monday night at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, which hosted the NFL's league meetings. She provided no other details.
