A quiet end to an era of unfulfilled expectations

The firing of general manager Joe Douglas was both a surprise and not a surprise. A change didn’t seem to be imminent after the Jets were defeated by the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11. However, Douglas was in the final year of the six year contract he signed in 2019. The Jets were a horrible disappointment in a season where his job was unanimously viewed to be on the line. We will continuing discussing the implications of this general manager change plenty in the days ahead, but here are five initial...

Checking in on some ex-Jets

Now that the bye week is here, it’s time to update you on former New York Jets players and how they are faring with their current teams. We’ll look at offensive players today and defensive players in a day or two. Then we’ll be moving on to look at special teamers in due course.

As ever, this list is intended to be exhaustive, but if we missed anyone, let us know in the comments.

New York Giants:

Guard Greg Van Roten has proven to be a solid addition as he’s started all 10 games and...

The owner is apparently making playing time decisions.

The Jets made a change at the safety position in their Week 11 game against the Indianapolis Colts. Tony Adams, who had started most of the season, was sent to the bench. Jalen Mills and Chuck Clark started for the Jets at the back of the defense.

The Athletic and ESPN have both confirmed the decision to bench Adams came directly from owner Woody Johnson.

Woody Johnson is the owner of the Jets. He is also widely recognized along the likes of Tom Landry, Bill Belichick, and Chuck Noll as one of...

There were a lot of ways the acquisition of quarterback Aaron Rodgers on the New York Jets could go. On the positive side, it was plausible he reverted back to some level resembling his 2021 and 2022 MVP seasons. On the negative side, it was plausible that he continued to decline and that the move would be viewed as a mistake.

But one option that I don’t think ever crossed my mind would be that he would play badly enough that the below tweet would ever exist.

And, yet, it does due to recent reporting by Zack Rosenblatt and Dianna...

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. Yesterday, the New York Jets and owner Woody Johnson fired general manager Joe Douglas. The timing of the firing seems odd, considering the season is lost, and there’s nothing to really gain by doing so. Funnily enough, an article was released the same night that insinuated that Johnson was behind some of the insane decision-making for the team this offseason. And, on top of that, a report surfaced that the owner wanted to bench...

Savage previously worked as general manager of the Cleveland Browns.

After the firing of general manager Joe Douglas, Phil Savage will take over as interim general manager for the remainder of the 2024 season.

Savage has worked with the Jets as a senior member of the front office since 2019 when Douglas was hired. He previously served as the general manager for the Cleveland Browns from 2005 to 2008. Additionally, he worked in the past in the front offices of the Eagles and Ravens.

The vast majority of the work of the general manager is finished for the 2024 season....

The Jets were 30-64 in five and a half seasons under Douglas.

The New York Jets have fired general manager Joe Douglas per multiple reports.

Douglas was in the final season of a six year contract he signed in May 2019. After compiling a 30-64 record and no winning seasons, his departure seemed more a question of “when” than “if.” The team’s dismal performance in 2024 surely sealed Douglas’ fate.

The Jets can now begin the search for a replacement general manager early.

Douglas was hired with much fanfare in 2019 after the dismissal of Mike Maccagnan. He was touted...

The New York Jets keep finding new ways to lose

The New York Jets were home at MetLife Stadium on Sunday to try to turn things around on a lost season. It didn’t happen. Needing only to keep the Indianapolis Colts out of the end zone in the last two minutes of the game to secure a victory, the Jets promptly allowed the Colts to score on a drive where the once very good Jets defense provided only token resistance. The Jets lost to the Indianapolis Colts, 28 -27 to fall to 3-8 on the season.

With the Jets defense...

Bringing your daily links to the NFL’s New York Jets

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. The New York Jets have become the butt of many jokes in recent weeks, but one thing can’t be joked about: the chance that quarterback Aaron Rodgers has completely fallen off a cliff. It’s interesting, because we saw great things over the summer. However, absolutely none of that has translated to the regular season, including the passing concepts being run by the team. At this point, no one has any idea if the quarterback...

How the Jets lost.

The Jets were two plays away from victory in Week 11. In the game’s final minute, the Colts faced a third and goal from the New York four yard line. Victory turned to defeat for the Jets. How did it happen?

Anthony Richardson start the play in the shotgun with Jonathan Taylor aligned to his right. Taylor goes in motion before the snap.

Quincy Williams follows him. Williams will be covering Taylor if the play is a pass. For the Colts this is convenient since the play is a run in the opposite direction. Now the...
