The New York Jets have gotten a lot of heat for the way they have handled this off-season, but one guy who is a fan is Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta who thinks the Jets have hired exceptional football guys.
When the Jets decided to fire former general manager Mike Maccagnan in May, it seemed everyone had an opinion, and most of them weren't positive.
With the team hiring Joe Douglas as the new general manager and Chad Alexander as their director of player personnel the opinions have changed a bit, and everyone seems to think they are very positive hires for the team.
“I am not in their building but I respect the Jets organization,” DeCosta said, via the Baltimore Sun. “They have added exceptional football guys in Joe and obviously, Chad. They have also added some talented guys who have played for us in the past. If you add some players and make a couple of good moves, you can turn things around quickly. Some teams that didn’t do well last year will come up and surprise people this season, and some who won last year will struggle this season. That’s the beauty of this league. That’s what makes the NFL fun.”
The Jets have made some questionable decisions for a while with how the team has been run, and the hope is that with Douglas now in charge this is a team that is going to be competing again for the AFC East. Only time will tell, but it seems to be a popular hire around the NFL.
