The first task for the Jets’ GM isn’t what you might think

While most NFL front offices will be beginning their vacations, Joe Douglas will be getting to work over the next few weeks.

There are plenty of tasks for the new Jets general manager to complete. The roster needs work. Two draft picks remain unsigned. He must hire his staff.

But Douglas’ top priority must be bringing some harmony to an organization that has felt like high school at times in the past decade — with gossiping, back-stabbing and finger-pointing.

The Jets’ playoff drought is at eight seasons. They have had one winning season in that time.
