Jets Fire General Manager Joe Douglas After 3-8 Start
Franchise Continues Sweeping Changes
Douglas Out After Four Seasons
The New York Jets have fired general manager Joe Douglas after four seasons, the team announced Monday. The move comes after the Jets started the season 3-8 and have lost seven of their last eight games.
Douglas was hired by the Jets in 2019 after spending 16 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was tasked with rebuilding the Jets, who had not made the playoffs since 2010.
Douglas made some key moves during his tenure, including drafting quarterback Zach Wilson with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. However, the Jets have struggled to win games under Douglas, going 20-39 in his four seasons.
The Jets' decision to fire Douglas is part of a larger shakeup of the franchise. The team also fired head coach Robert Saleh last week.
The Jets are now searching for a new general manager and head coach. The team is expected to conduct a thorough search and interview multiple candidates before making a decision.
What's Next for the Jets?
The Jets are now in a state of flux. The team has a lot of holes to fill on its roster, and it needs to find a new general manager and head coach.
The Jets are likely to be active in free agency and the NFL Draft in the coming months. The team needs to add talent to its roster, and it needs to find a new leader who can turn the franchise around.
The Jets have a lot of work to do, but they have the resources to turn things around. The team has a lot of young talent on its roster, and it has a lot of cap space to spend.
The Jets need to make the right moves in the coming months, but they have the potential to be a contender in the AFC East.
