I think we all knew at some point this may happen. And now the Jets GM position is open. Does Douglas go? I think he has to if they want him. It's a promotion that he had always wanted. It will sting for abit, but I think the Eagles will do fine moving forward if this happens.

No problem. It will probably happen, although my (our) desire would be to give the GM title to Joe, but they still collaborate on the big decisions, including Lurie. Pay the man, Jeffrey. Howie, keep doing the magic with the cap, and contracts, etc. Let Joe make the picks, and which free agents to go after. After all, Baltimore kept Ozzie for a long, long time. B e creative. And, if Joe does leave, please try to keep Weidl as the VP of Football Operations. Besides Joe, we need top scouts. Keep them too. Don't allow Howie to go back to where we were a few years ago. :L

If I were him I would wait for a better opportunity. The Jets are a mess due to the ownership.

He seemingly has a QB and one on a rookie contract. Tough to be too choosy. Only the bad situations open up.

Gase is the GM and will not let anyone else do it.

Johnson is a putz.

This was my thought this morning. As much as I don’t want Douglas to go, he deserves the chance for sure.

But the Jets in their current situation....yikes. This would not excite me at all. It’s been a fucking soup opera there. Add a shitty owner to that mix....

Yeah, that is true. Supposedly Daniel Jeremiah, the former scout turned NFL Network draft guy, is another candidate and he loves Darnold.

The guy is long over due to be given his own roster. I personally think the Jets aren't that bad.
Gase got the shaft in Miami never had a real QB there and tried to clean up the culture there.

These two together could be very good!

Gase and Douglas have strong ties... there is a good possibility he may leave for more autonomy than he has in Philly. I think it's part of the reason the Eagles pursued and landed Andrew Berry, Howie was anticipating a move or maybe Douglas just told him flat out behind the scenes that he's looking for another team with more input. For the Jets sake they better hope they get Douglas, because anyone who leaves total personnel input to a doofus like Gase should be committed.

If he does leave, I wouldn't rule out Daniel Jeremiah of the NFL Network, he and Howie have a good relationship and he's familiar with the Eagles organization having worked there as a scout under Roseman years ago. DJ knows his shit, he would be a good addition. It would suck to lose Douglas because he and his team seem to be a very good fit in the organization, but there are a lot of talented scouts out there and Howie has always had the skill to lure quality people to the Eagles.

Sup[supposedly Joe and Gase really don't have a great relationship. They were only together for 1 year.

The next step for Joe Douglas and the Jets

Here's the latest. I hate to see Joe go, and I think he'd be making a big mistake. The Jets are one of the worst organizations in the league. I am so glad that we got Doug instead of Gase, who I really wanted, but realized just how good Dougie is!! Joe made some very good picks! Grrrrrrrrrrr!

He has to take it. They have a QB and he's in NY market.

Word is, Joe is the leading favorite for the Jets job. Also, he has not been very pleased that the Eagles have added an analytics guy as VP, and Joe does not have as big voice as he had before. So, I hope Lurie and Howie know what's best, or else we fall back again in personnel.

Douglas may not be taking the Jets GM afterall. Just read an update on BGN and it sounds like the Jets are not willing to pay the money Douglas wants. Who knows? This story probably will change a few more times.

Hope you're right. If I were him, I would not go there under $2M at least, and final say over personnel. Jets are dysfunctional.

Bye Joe. It's funny that the Jets upped the over to Joe since Houston fired their GM moments ago. Don't be surprised if Gain gets hired now to replace Douglas.
