Jets Appoint Interim GM Following Joe Douglas' Departure

The New York Jets have appointed Phil Savage as their interim general manager following the dismissal of Joe Douglas. Savage, who has been a senior football advisor for the Jets since 2019, previously served as the GM for the Cleveland Browns.
