Jets Fire GM Joe Douglas Amid Organizational Overhaul

The New York Jets have fired general manager Joe Douglas, a move that was both expected and surprising given the team's poor performance under his leadership. Douglas, in the final year of his contract, failed to deliver a winning season, with a record of 30-64, and made significant misjudgments in key areas such as quarterback and head coach selections. The timing of the firing is seen as appropriate, as the Jets are struggling with a 3-8 record. However, finding a new general manager may be challenging due to the team's poor cap situation and owner Woody Johnson's meddling behavior, as highlighted in a recent expose by The Athletic.
