Joe Douglas will obtain the first NFL general manager opening after leaving the Jets.

First call: Oct 8, 2024, 10:54 PM ET · Deadline: Sep 1, 2025, 12:00 AM ET · Historical archive

THE ORIGINAL TAKE
“Joe D will have the 1st GM job that opens”

What we’re scoring

Earlier first-opening forecast restores the existing next-GM key. The next-role record contradicts the immediate first-opening claim; this is not a claim that he can never become GM later.

The ruling

Douglas next position after leaving the Jets was Eagles senior personnel director/advisor to the general manager in 2025, rather than general manager. Other clubs filled general manager openings in the 2025 hiring cycle.

  1. Sep 24, 2026, 12:20 PM ET · approve

    Retain the objectively identifiable job-acquisition event without inventing a time horizon. Qualitative success and Saleh being real good are not independently scored.

  2. Sep 24, 2026, 12:20 PM ET · verdict

    Down the road supplies no expiration date. The prediction cannot be scored incorrect merely because a job has not yet been obtained. The displayed date is a review checkpoint, not a settlement deadline.

  3. Sep 24, 2026, 1:03 PM ET · verdict

    The title and preceding author sentence identify Douglas as a GM and another shot as the same role. Reconcile to this January original without changing the existing unscored status or inventing an appointment deadline.

  5. Sep 24, 2026, 1:03 PM ET · verdict

    This earlier expectation follows a reported Falcons interview, but the source supplies no deadline for another GM appointment. It remains unscored; an interview itself is not a hiring outcome.
