The New York Jets appear to be caught up in their own kind of Spygate controversy.
According to multiple reports, Jets players filed a complaint to the NFLPA about security cameras installed inside the team locker room at their training facility in Florham Park, New Jersey, alleging an invasion of privacy.
According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, players claim they were not aware of the cameras, which were reportedly placed in the facility when the Jets moved there in 2008.
The NFLPA immediately informed the NFL in late October, but in the past week the league concluded players were aware of the cameras and did not violate any rules or state law. The Jets through the league, say the cameras were placed for internal security reasons.
Many former players told the Daily News they do not recall being informed about security cameras being placed in the locker room.
The Jets did inform the team this season that they would be monitored on the grounds of the facility to ensure COVID-19 guidelines were being followed, but current players say they asked a team officiation if they could track their movement in the locker room and did not receive a direct answer.
ESPN's Rich Cimini contacted four former players – two of which said they were unaware of the cameras in the locker room while two others said they knew because security investigated incidents that involved missing valuables.
A Jets spokesperson told multiple media outlets that the organization is "aware of the situation, and will have no further comment at this time."
