Joe Douglas replacements: 6 candidates Woody Johnson should consider for Jets GM role

The New York Jets have finally completed their purge. On Tuesday, they were announced to have fired general manager Joe Douglas, who went 30-64 with no playoff appearances with the franchise.

In his place, senior personnel advisor Phil Savage will reportedly assume managerial duties in the interim. But he might not be around when 2025 comes. There are certain candidates who are more qualified to run the team than him, like these six.

Shelton Quarles is a lifelong Tampa Bay Buccaneer who has seen his fair amount of success. He won a Super Bowl as a player in 2002, then became an executive for the organization, winning another Super Bowl eighteen years later.

The man has had his fair share of Draft hits like Mike Evans, Gerald McCoy, Lavonte David and so many more. Perhaps his keen eye for talent could help a Jets team that has been, at best, mediocre at drafting.
