GM favorite Joe Douglas meets with Jets as waiting game begins

The leader is in the clubhouse.

The Jets completed their interview with Eagles vice president of player personnel Joe Douglas on Sunday for their general manager opening. Now, we will see if he gets the job as many around the NFL expect.

Douglas has been the perceived front-runner from the minute the Jets fired Mike Maccagnan on May 15. In fact, rumors had been circulating even before Maccagnan was fired that the Jets were planning on replacing Maccagnan with Douglas. The Eagles exec had been reaching out to people around the league about joining him with the Jets.
