New York Jets Fire General Manager Joe Douglas After More Than Five Seasons

The New York Jets have made a significant move in their organizational structure, firing General Manager Joe Douglas on Tuesday, November 19, 2024. This decision comes after Douglas spent more than five seasons with the franchise.

Douglas’s tenure with the Jets was marked by several key roster moves, including the recent rebuilding efforts centered around quarterback Aaron Rodgers. However, the team’s performance this season has been disappointing, with a record of 3-8 following a 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

The firing is part of a broader house cleaning within the Jets organization, indicating a desire for change and improvement in the team’s leadership and strategy. Douglas’s departure is seen as a significant step in this direction.

The move was confirmed by various NFL insiders, including SNY NFL Insider Connor Hughes and ESPN‘s Adam Schefter, highlighting the swift and decisive action taken by the Jets’ management).
