The New York Jets are continuing to make front office changes as their season slides further and further into the mud. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Jets have fired general manager Joe Douglas after five-plus seasons and a 30-64 record.

The firing of Douglas is the second major front office shake up owner Woody Johnson and team president Hymie Elhai have cooked up this season. They fired head coach Robert Saleh on Oct. 8 when the team was 2-3. They’ve gone 1-5 since then, which is part of why Douglas didn’t survive his turn on the metaphorical chopping block.
Douglas joined the Jets as general manager in June 2019 after spending several years with the Philadelphia Eagles as vice president of player personnel. The Jets have not had a winning season since they hired him. They are currently 3-8.
