PHILADELPHIA -- Former New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas is returning to the Philadelphia Eagles in a senior scouting role, a league source confirmed.
Douglas served as the Eagles' vice president of player personnel from 2016-19. He helped build the city's first Super Bowl champion -- a squad that overcame the loss of a number of key starters due to injury, including quarterback Carson Wentz, to go 13-3 during the regular season before knocking off Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII.
The run of success in Philadelphia led to the Jets hiring him as general manager in 2019.
