They already did that. Double was quiet fired for some time, but the Jets found out that potential GM candidates won't talk to them when they still have a GM on staff 5 minutes ago, JohnBonhamRocks said: Let’s see what role he gets in Green Bay He was apparently already looking at real estate in Baltimore like a week ago Edited November 19 by Malazan Quote
Brandon Posted November 19 Posted November 19 This is a stupid move for the Jets and a good one for the rest of the division. QB issues aside, their front office had finally done a good job of putting together a reasonably talented roster and I don't think it was just by accident. 1 Quote

Joe Mama Posted November 19 Posted November 19 1 hour ago, SoTier said: How will that help? They've whiffed on 3 top five QBs in the last 15 years: Sanchez (2009), Darnold (2018), and Wilson (2021) plus a 2nd rounder in 2013 (Smith). Smith and Darnold have gone on to become decent starting QBs, which is only more embarrassing because both looked like something nasty you don't want to step in when with the Jests. Chistian Hackenberg in 2nd round also Quote

Golden*Wheels Posted November 19 Posted November 19 I am so enjoying watching Aaron burn that franchise to the ground from the inside out. PLEASE COME BACK TO THE JEST NEXT YEAR AARON! PLEASE! Quote
sleeby Posted November 19 Posted November 19 Makes sense to me. Why not now? This shows they are not planning to use Rodgers next year. No way they would hire a new GM and force them and their new head coach he brings in to deal with Aaron. There's not much for a GM to do between now and end of season but they will want the new GM and HC in place soon into post season to prepare for draft. Jets are full rebuild now. Quote
GETTOTHE50 Posted November 19 Posted November 19 Honestly, jets fans should be grateful for rodgers, he is not the hero they wanted, but needed. He cleaned out house. 1 1 Quote
hondo in seattle Posted November 19 Posted November 19 (edited) I apologize if someone already mentioned this... but didn't Woody say this was the most talented roster since he owned the Jets? Update: I asked Perplexity the same question... Yes, Woody Johnson did state earlier this season that the current New York Jets roster is "one of the most talented teams that has ever been assembled by the New York Jets." He made this remark on October 8, 2024, emphasizing his belief in the team's potential under general manager Joe Douglas. Why do you fire the guy who built you such a talented team? Maybe it's not so talented after all? 3 hours ago, Solomon Grundy said: I guess Aaron Rodgers will be back next season... as GM😎 Rodgers says he'll continue quarterbacking the team next season if, as the new GM, he also gets to choose the new HC and OC.

No three peat this offseason. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/troubling-report-surfaces-about-jets-after-gm-change/ar-AA1unMoY?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=4a29daa999884ca08107679bc85ce694&ei=21 Edited November 19 by Gregg Quote
Doc Brown Posted November 19 Posted November 19 I wonder what's going through Rodgers mind at the time shaking Woody's hand. LOL. Douglas and Saleh were so happy. Quote

Malazan Posted November 19 Posted November 19 The Jets also have ~100 million in players / void years / etc that will likely be dead cap to deal with next season. Quote
TheFunPolice Posted November 19 Posted November 19 Unfortunately for the Jets all of the guys who were in a room with Sean McVay when the Rams were winning have been taken. At this point they might have to settle for the guy who gets coffee for Eberflus. 3 Quote
Johnny Bravo Posted November 19 Posted November 19 3 hours ago, Captain Hindsight said: I alwasy thought of Douglas like Whaley. Whaley brought in great talent, but never built a good roster and was horrible with the most important picks. HC and QB Whaley was the GM when we hired McDermott. Oversaw the draft that got us Tre, Dion, and Milano as well. But I still prefer Beane, LOL Quote
