Jets ‘doing homework’ on Bills QB Joe Brady
The New York Jets need an offensive coordinator, and they could be looking to the Buffalo Bills for the right person.
The Jets’ and OC Mike LaFleur split on Wednesday. Reportedly, New York allowed LaFleur to “pursue other opportunities” which sounds like a vague way to describe the two sides both decided it’s not working out.
However, Robert Saleh, head coach of the Jets, is still on the market. a new offensive coordinator.
Toss Joe Brady’s name into the ring.
According to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, the Bills’ quarterbacks coach is a person New York is reportedly “doing their homework on.”
It was reported earlier in the week that the Carolina Panthers were set to interview For the vacant position of head coach, Buffalo’s offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey.
It seems unlikely that both the Bills’ OC and QB Coach (13-3) will be losing their offseason coaches, although there may be a world out.
Brady and Dorsey, both of whom are considered young coaches by NFL standards, are currently in their first year in their respective jobs. While the league is becoming more open-minded about hiring younger coaches it would surprise if either of them were to leave.
Brady does have some brief experience as an offensive coordinator though, so his departure over Dorsey’s might be more realistic. Brady was Carolina’s OC briefly in 2020 before an apparent falling out with then head coach Matt Rhule.
