NFL general managers are in charge of a lot more than most people know. From drafting the next superstars, signing players in free agency, and managing the salary cap, general managers have a lot on their plates for 12 months of the year. And that’s just the beginning of it — they also manage other parts of the organization as it relates to football operations.

General Managers Recently Fired
The first general manager fired in 2024 was New York Jets’ GM Joe Douglas. After head coach Robert Saleh was fired after the team’s 2-3 start, Douglas was also let go on Nov. 19.
The Jets were 30-64 in Douglas’ six seasons as the top executive. New York’s .319 winning percentage was the worst of all 32 teams over that span (2019-present).
In 2023, the first general manager fired was Las Vegas Raiders’ GM Dave Ziegler. The Raiders released the following statement when Ziegler was let go.
“After much thought about what the Raiders need to move forward, I have decided to part ways with Josh and Dave,” owner Mark Davis said in a statement. “I want to thank them both for their hard work and wish them and their families nothing but the best.”
Ziegler, hired in January 2022, barely lasted two seasons in his position. After bringing in Josh McDaniels as his head coach, and a number of other Patriot alumni throughout the team, the organization felt like a change was necessary after starting 3-5 on the year. At the time of Ziegler’s firing, the Raiders had the No. 31 total offense in the NFL, were No. 32 in rushing yards per game (70), and ranked No. 30 in points per game (15.8).
The next GM fired in 2023 was Tom Telesco. The Los Angeles Chargers moved on from both Telesco and head coach Brandon Staley after the team was embarrassed on Thursday Night Football in Week 15 against the Las Vegas Raiders 63-21.
Carolina Panthers GM Scott Fitterer was also fired in 2023. After three seasons in Charlotte, Fitterer left the Panthers with the worst record in the NFL and in a deep hole after a historic trade for Bryce Young in the 2023 NFL Draft went wrong. Fitterer joined the Panthers in 2021 after being the VP of Football Operations with the Seattle Seahawks and now departs with the house being cleared in Carolina.
The Commanders also moved on from their general manager, but wasted no time in bringing in his replacement in Adam Peters.
