New York Jets star quarterback Aaron Rodgers made a triumphant comeback to MetLife stadium Thursday, playing in his first home game since a devastating injury more than a year ago.
The New York Jets fired general manager Joe Douglas on Tuesday, the team announced. Douglas, 48, was in the final year of a six-year contract he signed to lead the Jets’ front office in 2019. New York fired him after a 3-8 start to the season. 'I want to thank Joe for his commitment to the Jets over the last six years and wish him and his family the best moving forward,' owner Woody Johnson said in a statement.
This year, with Rodgers healthy, the Jets are on pace to finish with an even worse record. And Rodgers is posting career lows in several statistical categories. Douglas’s dismissal is the second major firing by New York this season. On Oct. 8, the team fired head coach Robert Saleh after a 2-3 start. In the six games since, the Jets have gone 1-5. New York entered this season with high expectations but things got off to a rocky start.
