Joe Douglas interviews for Falcons GM role two years after Jets’ firing
NY Post
A familiar face to the Jets could find himself a new home soon.
Ex-Jets general manager Joe Douglas completed an interview for the Falcons’ vacant GM role, the team said Friday.
Douglas, 49, served as Gang Green’s GM from 2019 until he was fired midway through the 2024 season in one of the most disappointing years in the team’s recent history.
After being let go by the Jets, Douglas joined the Eagles in a senior scouting role ahead of the 2025 season.
His interview with the Falcons comes after the franchise introduced former quarterback Matt Ryan as their president of football. Ryan is leading the search for the successor of former GM Terry Fontenot.
“We’re looking for people that work well together,” Ryan said of the general manager search at his introductory press conference. “And that doesn’t mean best friends. You’ve got to have a professional and really strong working relationship. And sometimes that comes with seeing things a little bit differently. But the best of the best find ways to get to common ground.

It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
