The New York Jets' attempt to salvage another season has resulted in another major shakeup.
General manager Joe Douglas was reportedly fired on Tuesday more than halfway through his sixth season with the organization. ESPN first reported the decision.

Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, once considered a main draw in acquiring Aaron Rodgers, was also then stripped of play calling duties, handing the reins over to passing game coordinator Todd Downing.
