Joe Douglas, the general manager of the New York Jets, spoke to reporters acknowledging the uncertain nature of his role with the team. The Jets currently sit at a disappointing 3-6 record, and Douglas noted the frustration surrounding the lack of a winning season since he took over in June 2019. Under his management, the Jets have a record of 30-62 and are likely to extend their playoff drought to 14 seasons. Douglas's contract is set to expire after the season, raising questions about his job security despite his insistence that he is focused on helping the team. Since the firing of head coach Robert Saleh on October 8, Douglas has made several strategic trades, aiming to improve the team's performance. The Jets are preparing to face the Arizona Cardinals, and Douglas expressed hope that recent efforts would inspire resilience within the franchise moving forward.
