Joe Douglas returning to Eagles after midseason Jets firing
NY Post
One year after he got the bad end of a trade with Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, Joe Douglas is re-joining his former boss.
Douglas, the former Jets general manager, is returning to the Eagles in a senior scouting role, according to multiple reports. Douglas was the Eagles vice president of player personnel from 2016-19, until he was hired to lead the Jets.
The Eagles and Jets essentially flipped pass-rushers during the 2024 offseason — and no one wound up happy.
After the Eagles signed Bryce Huff away from the Jets during free agency, Douglas turned around and traded a 2026 third-round pick to Roseman for the disgruntled Haason Reddick.
Huff only had 2.5 sacks in 12 games, lost his starting job and was a healthy scratch in the Super Bowl.
But that sounds like optimal production compared to what Reddick gave the Jets when he held out for the first seven games of the season — after misleading Douglas about his demands for a new contract — and then contributed one sack in 10 games before leaving for the Buccaneers as a free agent.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
