New York Jets fire general manager Joe Douglas

The New York Jets are looking for a new general manager

The New York Jets are continuing their in-season housecleaning.

On Tuesday, they fired general manager Joe Douglas.

The team is having a terrible season at 3-8 and are plummeting.

The decision to acquire Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers has provided dismal results.

Earlier in the season, the Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh and replaced him with interim coach Jeff Ulbrich.

That change has not improved the team.

The Jets are on a bye week and return to play in Dec. 1 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Davante Adams signs hamburger bun before Colts-Jets

What did Davante Adams sign for a fan?

Fans will get an autograph on anything. The latest example is what New York Jets WR Davante Adams signed for a fan while arriving on Sunday for the team’s game with the Indianapolis Colts.

Check it out as Adams puts his John Hancock on a hamburger bun.

Unless this is freeze-dried for posterity, the bun will eventually turn moldy and green. Just like the Jets.

Aaron Rodgers’ TD pass to Davante Adams ices Jets’ win over Texans

The New York Jets were in desperation mode.

They were 2-6 and down 7-0 in the second half against the Houston Texans on Thursday at MetLife Sradium.

The offense came alive after the break, Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes and the Jets were 3-6 after a 21-13 win over the AFC South leaders.

The one that iced the game was Rodgers’ 37-yard pass to Davante Adams to make it 21-10 after the PAT.

Rodgers was 22-of-32 for 211 and the TDs. Adams caught seven passes for 91 yards despite missing part of the second half while being evaluated for a concussion.

One note about Adams’ touchdown. After the flub in the first half when rookie Malachi Corley dropped the football before entering the end zone, it was a bit reckless for the veteran wideout to begin his celebration prematurely.

C.J. Stroud was without top wideouts Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs. The second-year QB had his second off game in the last three, completing 11-of-30-passes for 191 yards..

Tank Dell had six catches for 126 yards, including a 50-yarder.

Upon review, Garrett Wilson makes astonishing, one-handed touchdown catch for Jets

Garrett Wilson with an astonishing catch for his second touchdown of the game

Garrett Wilson already had a great one-handed catch for a touchdown on Thursday against the Houston Texans for the New York Jets.

In the fourth quarter, Aaron Rodgers looked deep for his wideout and Wilson delivered a mind-boggling grab.

The catch Wilson made for the touchdown that gave the Jets a 14-10 lead after the PAT was one for the ages.

He caught the ball with one hand and somehow managed to get a shin down in the back of the end zone before his knee hit out of bounds.

The play was originally called incomplete but Jeff Ulrbich challenged it and after a review it was called a touchdown.

The New York Jets must have gotten a wakeup call at halftime of their game with the Houston Texans on Thursday at MetLife Stadium.

Trailing 7-0, they took the second-half kickoff and went 70 yards over 11 plays.

The touchdown came when Aaron Rodgers connected with Garrett Wilson, who made a nice one-handed catch en route to the 21-yard touchdown.

New kicker Riley Patterson hit the upright on the PAT but caught a break and it went through to tie the game at seven.

 

Malachi Corley of Jets drops football before goal line resulting in touchback for Texans

Malachi Corley with a huge mistake in the Texans-Jets game

When will they learn?

Add Malachi Corley of the New York Jets to the list of players who decided to celebrate before crossing the goal line.

In the second quarter of Thursday’s game with the Houston Texans, Corley took the ball from Aaron Rodgers and sauntered to paydirt.

The problem was he decided to get cocky and drop the football as he neared the goal line.

The play was called a touchdown on the field  but upon review, vidthe eo showed Corley had dropped the ball before scoring.

The football made its way out of the back of the end zone and instead of the Jets having six points and the lead, the Texans had the football thanks to a touchback.

Corley had one reception for four yards entering the game. Don’t blame the coaching staff for failing to teach him to hold on to the football until you score.

A gaffe.

Jets coach Jeff Ulbrich fumbles challenge flag, allowing Aaron Rodgers to throw TD pass

The Jets wound up with a touchdown and two-point conversion in a strange series of events

Things may finally be going the way of the New York Jets. At least for one play on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers they did.

Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich was trying to challenge the previous play. As he went to throw the red challenge flag, it dropped. Call it a fumble.

Because Ulbrich lost control of the flag, Aaron Rodgers went ahead with the play and threw a TD pass to Tyler Conklin.

On the ensuing PAT, Minkah Fitzpatrick was called for leverage, and Ulbrich decided to go for two.

It worked, also, as Rodgers connected with Garrett Wilson to give the Jets a 15-6 lead in the second quarter.

Haason Reddick will finally report to New York Jets

Haason Reddick is ending his hold from the New York Jets

The switch to Drew Rosenhaus as the agent for holdout Haason Reddick has worked for both the player and New York Jets.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Sunday that Reddick will report to the Jets on Monday.

The millions of dollars in fines Reddick has incurred during the holdout are being waived.

The Jets will be without Reddick on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They will have newly acquired WR Davante Adams in the lineup.

Davante Adams to wear No. 17 with New York Jets

What number will Davante Adams wear as a Jet

Malachi Corley was No. 17 on the New York Jets’ roster until Wednesday.

The rookie from Western Kentucky has shifted to No. 14 with the addition of Davante Adams to the team.

Corley is on a four-year, $6 million rookie contract. Adams makes considerably more. No word  on whether Adams made the move for Corley more comfortable.
