Tanner Engstrand Expected To Become Jets Offensive Coordinator
1 min agoSNY's Connor Hughes reports that the expectation is that Detroit Lions tight ends coach/passing-game coordinator Tanner Engstrand will be named as the new offensive coordinator for the New York Jets, according to sources. The Jets were also making a run at Los Angeles Rams tight ends coach/passing-game coordinator Nick Caley for the offensive-coordinator position, but he has informed them that he's not interested and is seeking other jobs around the league. In addition to likely bringing on Engstrand, the Jets hired Steve Heiden as their offensive-line coach this week. Engstrand joined Detroit in 2020 as an offensive assistant and was promoted to his current role in 2022. Many viewed him as a possible candidate to take over for Ben Johnson as the Lions offensive coordinator, but he will instead follow first-time head coach Aaron Glenn to New York.
