Overview

  • Tanner Engstrand, previously the Detroit Lions' passing game coordinator, has been named the New York Jets' offensive coordinator under new head coach Aaron Glenn.
  • Engstrand played a key role in Detroit's top-ranked scoring offense in 2024, which averaged 33.2 points per game and ranked second in total offense.
  • The Jets, who had the 24th-ranked scoring offense last season, are looking to replicate Detroit's offensive success as they rebuild under Glenn's leadership.
  • Engstrand's hire follows the Jets' unsuccessful attempt to recruit Rams tight ends coach Nick Caley, who declined the position.
  • The future of quarterback Aaron Rodgers with the Jets remains uncertain, adding intrigue to Engstrand's role in shaping the team's offense.
