Jets fire general manager Joe Douglas after team goes 3-8 to start the season
The New York Jets have fired general manager Joe Douglas, team owner Woody Johnson said in a statement Tuesday.
Douglas was in the final year of his contract after being hired in 2019. The Jets are 3-8 in a season that began with Super Bowl aspirations with a healthy Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. But the team struggled to a 2-3 start, and owner Woody Johnson fired coach Robert Saleh on Oct. 8.
Douglas was 30-64 in his tenure with the Jets.
