Jets Hire Tanner Engstrand As Offensive Coordinator

The New York Jets have hired Tanner Engstrand as their new offensive coordinator, following his tenure as the passing game coordinator with the Detroit Lions. Engstrand, who has worked closely with newly appointed head coach Aaron Glenn, is stepping into a role that has seen significant turnover, marking the Jets' 11th offensive playcaller in the past 15 years. The Jets' offense ranked 24th in scoring last season, and Engstrand will be tasked with revitalizing the unit while working with veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is uncertain about his future. Engstrand previously contributed to a Lions offense that scored a league-high 564 points in 2024, indicating his potential for success in New York. His hiring follows the Jets' unsuccessful attempts to recruit Rams assistant Nick Caley and comes amidst several coaching changes within the Lions' staff. The Jets are aiming to improve their offensive performance after a disappointing season, with Engstrand being seen as a key figure in that endeavor.
