New York Jets Fire General Manager Joe Douglas

The New York Jets have fired general manager Joe Douglas following a disappointing 3-8 start to the season, marking a significant organizational overhaul. Douglas, who was in the final year of his contract, ends his tenure with a record of 30-64 and no playoff appearances since his hiring in 2019. This decision follows the earlier firing of head coach Robert Saleh, signaling a complete reset for a team that had high expectations with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. Critics argue that Rodgers himself has played a significant role in the team's struggles, with some fans blaming his influence for the recent firings. Douglas's previous successes in drafting key players will be overshadowed by his failure to stabilize the quarterback position. As the Jets seek a new general manager, the challenges ahead include retaining promising young talent eligible for contract extensions.
