Joe Douglas Rejoins Eagles After Jets Dismissal

Joe Douglas, recently dismissed as the New York Jets general manager after a 32-68 record and a high-profile misstep with the Zach Wilson draft pick, has been hired by the Philadelphia Eagles in a senior scouting role. Douglas previously served as the Eagles' vice president of player personnel from 2016 to 2019, helping build their Super Bowl LII-winning roster. He brings experience from three Super Bowl wins, including time with the Baltimore Ravens and Eagles. His return to Philadelphia reunites him with GM Howie Roseman after both the Jets and Eagles experienced an unsatisfactory exchange of pass-rushers. Douglas's hiring marks a homecoming to a franchise where he previously thrived. The Eagles, fresh off another Super Bowl victory, expect to benefit from his extensive scouting and personnel expertise.
