After entering the season with high expectations that have crashed back down to Earth, the New York Jets have fired general manager Joe Douglas.
Douglas' contract was set to expire at the end of the season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
But team owner Woody Johnson appeared unwilling to wait that long and pulled the plug on Douglas' tenure in Florham Park early.
The Jets were supposed to be legitimate contenders this season - with a fully healthy Aaron Rodgers and a bevy of weapons at his disposal.
Still, even after swinging the trade for Davante Adams, the Jets languish towards the bottom of the AFC as they own a record of 3-8.
After firing head coach Robert Saleh earlier in the season, it appears that the next man to be shown the door was Douglas.
