NEW YORK _ The Jets punctuated an offseason of change by announcing Friday that team president Neil Glat will be "stepping down" from that role to transition to a senior advisor position.
"I want to thank the Johnson Family for giving me an amazing opportunity to be part of their truly special organization," Glat said in a statement released by the team. "Woody and Christopher are terrific leaders, and were outstanding mentors to me. I am extremely grateful to the both of them. I also want to express my sincere gratitude to all the outstanding people who are part of the Jets family. There's never a good time to leave, but it's the right time for me to take on new challenge."
Glat spent the bulk of his efforts on the business side of the organization for the past seven years.
Glat spent 15 years working for the league office before joining the Jets. The organization will announce their structural plan in the next few days.
