The New York Jets have hired Joe Douglas as general manager on a six-year deal. Douglas will control the 53-man roster and will have final say on the draft and free agency.
Douglas had been vice president of player personnel of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Douglas was the heavy favorite from the outset, in part because of his connection to Gase. They worked together with the Chicago Bears in 2015 and remained friends.
