Overview

  • Joe Douglas has been officially hired by the Philadelphia Eagles as a senior scouting advisor, marking his return to the organization after six years.
  • Douglas previously served as the Eagles' vice president of player personnel from 2016 to 2019, contributing to the team’s 2017 Super Bowl victory alongside GM Howie Roseman.
  • During his tenure as Jets GM from 2019 to 2024, the team struggled with a 32-68 record and no playoff appearances, leading to his mid-season dismissal in November 2024.
  • Douglas’s reputation as a respected talent evaluator, shaped by his time with the Ravens and Eagles, influenced Philadelphia’s decision to bring him back following recent scouting staff departures.
  • The Jets have since moved on, appointing Darren Mougey as GM and Aaron Glenn as head coach in their effort to rebuild after Douglas’s unsuccessful regime.
