Former New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas reportedly wasn't too broken up over his firing earlier this week. Dianna Russini of The Athletic spoke to

The team’s ex-general manager felt a sense of “relief” after being fired by the Jets, according to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, who spoke to an NFL executive close to Douglas. Douglas, who spent five-plus seasons as the Jets GM, was reportedly fishing on the Jersey Shore just hours after losing the job.

The New York Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh last month, and are now parting ways with their general manager. Two days after their 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, the Jets have fired general manager Joe Douglas.
