On May 14, Maccagnan was fired, with Gase made acting general manager. Maccagnan's replacement was Joe Douglas, an Eagles executive and former player, hired June 7, 2019. For the 2019 NFL season, the Jets announced new uniforms, resembling the ones they had worn in the 1980s, and including an all-black alternative. The Jets started the 2019 season 1–4 with Darnold out due to mononucleosis. They recovered to some extent with a 6–2 second half of the season to finish 7–9; Bell failed to reach 100 yards in any game.
