The New York Jets have completely hit the reset button and we haven’t even reached the end of the 2024 season.
Connor Hughes of SNY shared on social media that the Jets have fired general manager Joe Douglas.
Douglas’ six-year contract was set to expire at the conclusion of the 2024 season. Jets owner Woody Johnson decided not to wait it out and instead made a change as the team headed into the bye week.
“First [head] coach Robert Saleh, now Douglas. A full house cleaning,” NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport added on X previously Twitter.
Douglas Isn’t Expected to Be out of a Job for Long
NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo said the Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles “and other teams think highly of Joe Douglas. Out as Jets GM, but sure to find his next role in the NFL in short order.”
On X previously Twitter, uStadium reported on November 16 that Douglas had already “started looking for real estate in the Baltimore area.” That was in anticipation of the Jets and Douglas parting ways this offseason when his contract expired.
Douglas was hired in June of 2019. The Jets finished with a 30-64 record under Douglas’ leadership. During his tenure, the Jets never made the playoffs nor did they ever have a winning season, as Jets analyst Joe Caporoso pointed out on social media.
This is a developing story and we’ll provide new details as they become available.
