Wow. Rodgers is cleaning house!

First player/coach/GM in NFL history! The man does it all! Does it poorly. But he does it nonetheless!

He's probably gonna start calling plays next.

Leave it to the jets to make fan life bearable for Giant fans. Not wanting to be outdone by the Giants "firing" Jones the very next day Woody Rodgers takes it up a notch, and fires the GM. They are always a step or ten ahead of us in futility. Talk about schadenfreude.  

Someone had to fill the void that Dan Synder left behind.

A Rodge calling the shots..never at him though. Speaking of shot..look in the mirror AR...back at ya.

 

The Giants and the Jets are having eerily similar bad seasons.

The difference is the Giants went into this season not being sure of how Jones would perform and weren't anticipating being really good.

The Jets came into the season thinking they were a potential Super Bowl contender.

Oddly enough, they will be going into the 2025 season with roughly the same cap space.

The difference is the Giants will be able to release DJ to pick up an extra $20+ million in cap space, while  it would cost the Jets an extra $25 million in cap space to release Rodgers.

Yes, the Jet are arguably are in worse space, but thats little consolation to me.Jets are reeling in spots..old Devante..Reddick is gone..offense line ancient in spots...and stuck with AR..and major issues with hiring a good staff with their chaos

But the Giants are also a mess...

It doesn't help the Giants situation but the Jets are an absolute disaster.  Rodgers will be gone after this miserable season ends and they will be left with a 100% rebuild. 

As poorly as the Jets have been managed (for ages), I think they did the correct thing in letting Douglas go today, as opposed to the end of the season.

With this season clearly over, the Jets need to start thinking about the offseason and focusing on prepping, scouting, and strategizing around their own roster and free agency. If you're 100% certain that you're not bringing your GM back next season, then it makes little sense to have him remaining in the senior leadership role of the day to day operations of the franchise, particularly as the front office moves more towards looking out to next year and beyond. It is better to just completely remove him from the building asap and make the interim GM someone you're not planning on necessarily also firing in the offseason.

To me, the Jet's mistake is going after Rodgers.   At this point when the GM is fired is akin to deciding if you should also lock the barn door after shutting it post horse escape.


That said, I do agree with the idea of firing a GM sooner rather than later because it gives a team a head start.

Dave,

I agree letting Douglas go is prudent right now, but Woody simply usurped his power for Rodgers and clamoring fans, too..a de facto gm in their washed qb. Fish rots from the head and WJ is a clueless owner
