The Jets have hired Joe Douglas to be their next general manager, the team announced Friday evening.
Douglas, the Eagles’ director of player personnel, was considered the leading candidate to replace former general manager Mike Maccagnan. Douglas and Jets coach Adam Gase worked together for one season with the Bears.
The deal is for six years, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
Douglas has spent the past three years with the Eagles and helped GM Howie Roseman assemble the roster that won the Super Bowl in February 2018. Douglas also spent 15 years with the Ravens, including 13 as a scout.
