Jets Exec VP Thad Sheely Leaving Team To Start Real Estate Development Firm

Jets Exec VP/Stadium Development & Finance THAD SHEELY is resigning at the end of the month to start his own real estate development firm, GridWorks. He follows fellow Exec VP MATT HIGGINS out the door. Their roles will be combined in a new position that the team currently has an executive search underway for. Sheely said he was hired 11 years ago to help build a stadium and that was accomplished, so he saw no reason to stay longer. In fact, he would have left earlier, he said, but wanted to live through the lockout period last year to have been through one.
