The New York Jets have made a significant decision by firing general manager Joe Douglas amidst a disappointing season. Douglas, who was in the final year of his contract after being hired in 2019, has been relieved of his duties with the team holding a 3-8 record. The Jets, who had high hopes at the start of the season with a healthy Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, struggled to a 2-3 start, leading to the firing of head coach Robert Saleh on Oct. 8.
The team owner, Woody Johnson, announced the departure of Douglas, who had a record of 30-64 during his tenure with the Jets. Johnson expressed gratitude towards Douglas for his commitment over the last six years and wished him well in his future endeavors. Phil Savage, the senior football adviser since 2019, has been appointed as the interim general manager for the remainder of the season, with the team initiating the search for a new GM.
