FLORHAM PARK, NJ – The New York Jets’ disappointing season claimed another victim Tuesday when owner Woody Johnson fired general manager Joe Douglas, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Douglas’ departure comes just seven weeks after Johnson fired coach Robert Saleh following the team’s 2-3 start. Douglas, who led the coaching search when Saleh was hired in 2021, was not consulted about Saleh’s firing.

The Jets have since gone 1-5 under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich.

Douglas, who signed a six-year contract when he was appointed in June 2019, had an expiring contract. He would be a free agent after this season.

Under Douglas, the Jets have a 30-64 record, no winning seasons and no playoff appearances. Douglas has built a roster with young stars like wide receiver Garrett Wilson and cornerback Sauce Gardner, but he made a huge miss by drafting quarterback Zach Wilson with the second pick in 2021.

Douglas tried a quick fix at quarterback, trading for future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers in April 2023, but Rodgers has failed to live up to expectations this season after missing all but four snaps last year with a torn Achilles tendon.
