On Wednesday afternoon, the Jets shocked the football world by firing GM Mike Maccagnan. For now, head coach Adam Gase will serve as the team’s interim GM, but he might not hold that title for long. The Jets have their eyes set on Eagles Vice President of Player Personnel Joe Douglas, two league sources tell Eliot Shorr-Parks of WIP (on Twitter).
It’s not clear whether the Jets have asked the Eagles for permission to interview Douglas, but that doesn’t matter much. Because the move would mark a clear career advancement, the Eagles would not have the ability to prevent Douglas from accepting the job.
Douglas has been with the Eagles since May of 2016, which coincided with Howie Roseman‘s return to power. Douglas had a big hand in assembling the team that won the Super Bowl following the 2017 season, giving him the pedigree to be a leading contender for Gang Green.
It remains to be seen whether Douglas would jump at the job. On one hand, the Jets are loaded with young talent, including quarterback Sam Darnold, running back Le’Veon Bell, safety Jamal Adams, and defensive linemen Leonard Williams and Quinnen Williams. On the other hand, the timing of Maccagnan’s dismissal indicates that there is some serious dysfunction in East Rutherford.
I think it’s time to change the name of this site to Pro Football Misogynists.
Because of a cheerleader pick? I think you need to learn what mysoginy means before you throw around big words you don’t understand.
Is Joe the blonde or the red head?
fine by me as long as they don’t change those pics lol
I would have to disagree! I think they celebrate women in a cheerful way! Big loss for Eagles if it happens.
Well Gase, go fill your remaining holes. You have let some prime free agency needs get away.
Ray Diddy said he’s good as gone
I hope this time he is wrong.
Which one pictured is Joe Douglas? Is that short for Josephine?
