Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Joe Douglas is returning to the Philadelphia Eagles in a senior scouting role after being fired as general manager by the New York Jets, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Monday.
The Jets terminated Douglas midway through the 2024 season, more than a month after first firing head coach Robert Saleh on Oct. 8. The team was 3-8 when it parted ways with Douglas.
Douglas, 48, signed a six-year contract to become the Jets' GM in June 2019. In that span, New York compiled a record of 30-64 with zero playoff appearances, continuing a drought that dates to 2010.
Douglas was vice president of player personnel for the Eagles from 2016-19 before leaving for the Jets' post. He is credited with building the Eagles' Super-Bowl winning roster in 2017. He was also with the Baltimore Ravens from 2000-14 and the Chicago Bears in 2015.
