Jets Dismiss GM Joe Douglas After Disappointing Season

The New York Jets have fired general manager Joe Douglas amid a disappointing 3-8 season, with Phil Savage stepping in as interim GM. Douglas, who joined the Jets in 2019, failed to lead the team to the playoffs and had a mixed record of successes and failures, including a strong 2022 draft class but poor results in 2020 and 2021. His tenure was marked by the inability to build a consistent offensive line and the failed acquisition of quarterback Zach Wilson. The decision to fire Douglas follows the earlier dismissal of coach Robert Saleh and reflects owner Woody Johnson's increasing control over team decisions.
