The New York Jets dropped a huge piece of news on Wednesday morning, announcing that they have fired general manager Mike Maccagnan. The timing of the move is especially shocking, considering the draft and free agency are in the rear-view mirror.
Maccagnan still had two years left on his contract, but a reported rift between him and coach Adam Gase led to his demise. Now, Gase will take over as interim GM until a permanent one is hired.
Fans and media members were caught off guard by Maccagnan’s firing and had quite the reactions on Twitter.
