Jets focus on Joe Douglas after Mike Maccagnan firing

The Jets may look down the New Jersey Turnpike for their next general manager.

Eagles vice president of player personnel Joe Douglas is considered to be the favorite to land the Jets GM job by many around the NFL. Some even say it is a done deal and that Douglas will be hired as soon as the Jets comply with the Rooney Rule and interview a minority candidate.

League sources said Douglas already has reached out to people about joining him with the Jets. ESPN reported that Daniel Jeremiah, currently a draft analyst for NFL Network, could have a prominent front-office role.
