          FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The folks at FireJohnIdzik.com have a new target -- New York Jets owner Woody Johnson.

          The website, which recently collected money from disgruntled fans to buy billboard space near MetLife Stadium, announced Monday on Twitter its plans to amend the message on the existing billboard. Instead of simply demanding Idzik's ouster, it's calling for Johnson to fire his general manager or sell the team.

          The billboard was supposed to go up Tuesday on Route 3 East, not far from the stadium.

          Johnson, who purchased the Jets for $630 million in 2000, isn't selling. He also isn't talking, and there's plenty to talk about. Johnson last spoke to the media on Oct. 2, but a lot has transpired since. The Jets are 2-9, coming off an embarrassing blowout against the Buffalo Bills. Coach Rex Ryan is a virtual goner, and the fan base is screaming for Idzik to be fired as well.

          Johnson isn't expected to address the media until after the season.
