New York Jets Fire General Manager Joe Douglas

The New York Jets have fired general manager Joe Douglas after a disappointing 3-8 season, marking a significant move as the team grapples with ongoing struggles. Owner Woody Johnson appointed Phil Savage as the interim GM, who has been with the Jets since 2019 as a senior football advisor. Douglas, who had a 30-64 record since 2019 and never led the team to a playoff appearance, faced criticism primarily for not securing a franchise quarterback, particularly after the acquisition of Aaron Rodgers resulted in injury setbacks. The firing follows the earlier dismissal of head coach Robert Saleh, indicating a broader organizational overhaul. Critics are divided on the timing of Douglas's dismissal, given that he was expected to leave after the season due to his expiring contract. The Jets aim to start anew as they search for a new general manager and potentially reassess their quarterback situation moving forward.
