New York Jets Fire GM Joe Douglas, Coach Saleh

The New York Jets are undergoing significant changes amidst a disappointing 3-8 season, having recently fired general manager Joe Douglas and head coach Robert Saleh. Reports indicate that quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who joined the team with high expectations after a trade, may not return in 2025 due to a lack of guaranteed money in his contract and the team's desire for a fresh start. NFL commentator Michael Irvin criticized the Jets for making Rodgers the focal point instead of fitting him into their existing running and defensive strategy, which has contributed to the team's struggles. Many players are reportedly disengaged, with some 'checked out,' as the franchise prepares for a potential complete overhaul. The decision to move on from Rodgers is seen as part of a larger reset for the organization, which may also involve seeking a new coach and general manager. The situation remains fluid as the Jets contemplate their future direction.
