FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Continuing to reshape their offensive coaching staff, the New York Jets have hired former Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Todd Downing as their passing-game coordinator, a source confirmed Monday.
Downing, who was fired after the season, has ties to two quarterbacks who might be potential offseason targets for the Jets — the Titans' Ryan Tannehill and the Las Vegas Raiders' Derek Carr.
Downing was the Raiders' quarterbacks coach in 2015 and 2016 and their coordinator in 2017 — three Pro Bowl years for Carr, who is expected to become a free agent later this week.
The Jets also have checked into the availability of the Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Sunday.
