Joe Douglas has had one whale of an offseason with the New York Jets.
The whole Aaron Rodgers saga was exhausting, in Douglas’ words, but he is noticeably giddy with excitement to have Rodgers on board.
Still, he’s made many other decisions, too, some of which have opened him for criticism. There are certain things he did, such as drafting Will McDonald in the first round, that were puzzling.
However, there may be one hidden philosophy that Douglas is following. It’s one that the best franchises in football have taken advantage of for years, including the team Douglas worked with as a scout for 15 seasons: the Baltimore Ravens, where Douglas learned under one the best general managers in recent history, Ozzie Newsome.
