Source - Lions' Tanner Engstrand taking over as Jets OC - ESPN

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — If he's back with the New York Jets in 2025, Aaron Rodgers' new offensive coordinator will be former Detroit Lions assistant Tanner Engstrand.

Engstrand, 42, agreed to terms with the Jets on Friday, a source confirmed to ESPN. He is familiar with newly hired coach Aaron Glenn, as they spent the past four seasons together on Dan Campbell's staff. Engstrand was the passing game coordinator for an offense that scored a league-high 564 points in 2024.

Fox Sports and Houston's KPRC first reported the agreement.

Once again, the Jets will go into the season with a first-time head coach and a first-time playcaller on offense. They did the same thing in 2021 with Robert Saleh and Mike LaFleur, who was pushed out after two seasons.

Engstrand walks into a historically unstable job that, for now, has a historically great quarterback.

He will be the Jets' 11th playcaller in the past 15 years, probably one of the reasons why they have the 32nd-ranked scoring offense over that span.

Rodgers, 41, is undecided on whether to play a 21st season. Likewise, the Jets haven't said if they want to move forward with the future Hall of Famer, whose 2024 performance was uneven. Glenn, in his introductory news conference Monday, said Rodgers will be evaluated just like every player on the roster.

The four-time MVP has had only four playcallers in his career: Mike McCarthy and Matt LaFleur with the Green Bay Packers and Nathaniel Hackett and Todd Downing with the Jets. Downing took over last season when Hackett was demoted in Week 6.

The defensive-minded Glenn will lean heavily on Engstrand as they chart a course for the offense, which finished 24th in scoring this season.

Also on Friday, the Jets hired Chris Harris as pass game
