Aaron Rodgers Crushed by NFL Fans After Jets Fire GM Joe Douglas
The New York Jets' nightmare of a season cost another person their job as general manager Joe Douglas was fired by the team on Tuesday. This comes just over a month after former head coach Robert Saleh was fired following the team's 2-3 start.
Douglas, of course, was the GM that brought legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the team via a trade with the Green Back Packers in April 2023. The Jets and their fans hopped Rodgers would be able to lead them to a Super Bowl but he missed basically all of last season with an Achilles injury and this year he has been a shell of himself while leading the team to 3-8 record.
NFL fans roasted Rodgers after the firing of Douglas.
The Jets are placing blame on everyone except the real problem, Aaron Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers is like the new hot shot manager the company brings in to improve the numbers but ends up getting the entire department fired but he stays employed

I couldn't imagine a GM worth their salt who would take that job and to be tied to Aaron Rodgers. The Jets are currently drafting 7th...
