The Lions/Rams blockbuster involving Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford could have an indirect impact on the Jets.It eliminates a potential trade-down partner for the Jets (No. 2). Obviously, Detroit (No. 7) will have no interest in trading up for.a QB now that they have Goff. As for Deshaun Watson impact: If Stafford goes for two first-rounders, a third rounder and Goff, what will it cost for Watson? Goff's massive contract no doubt a factor in this haul.
Deshaun Watson? Zach Wilson? New York would be committing organizational malpractice if it didn't consider alternatives to its current QB.
They're big and small. They've been lost while surfing in Hawaii and dancing at Studio 54. They've been found in taxis and hotel nightstands. Each ring, and its wearer, has a unique story to tell.
His brother's escape from the terrorist attacks in 2001 motivated Robert Saleh to chase his dreams, do something "that will make me happy" and coach football.
Jets owner Woody Johnson is officially back. He broke his silence (kind of) with two Jets-related tweets. Johnson thanked his brother, Christopher, for his "dedication and thoughtfulness" while running the team since 2017. Woody said his brother "has set us up for future success." Johnson also welcomed newly-hired coach Robert Saleh, saying they had "a great conversation." It was their first conversation. Johnson spent the last 3+ years as the ambassador to the UK.
From franchises that will tear it all down to those that just need a few tweaks, here are the offseason priorities for every team no longer playing.
New coach Robert Saleh is retaining Brant Boyer as the Jets' special teams coordinator, a source confirmed (NFL Network). This is a good move by Saleh. The Jets had a down year on special teams, but Boyer has proven to be an outstanding coach. This will be Boyer's third head coach, which shows how well he is regarded. Saleh's coordinators are set. The others are Mike LaFleur (offense) and Jeff Ulbrich (defense).
Jacksonville gets the first shot at a quarterback, while New York has a big decision to make at No. 2. Here's the first-round order so far.
New York's leader developed an affinity for splashy moves (see: Brett Favre and Tim Tebow), so going after Houston's QB isn't that far-fetched.
News that the Lions and QB Matthew Stafford have agreed to part ways could affect the Jets in two ways: 1. If they decide to move on from Sam Darnold, Stafford could be a trade option if they deem Deshaun Watson too pricey and don't like the QB options with the No. 2 pick. Stafford would be a middle-ground alternative. He has two years, $43M on his contract; 2. It's a potential trade-down partner for the Jets. Detroit (No. 7) now needs a QB; could they move up? The Jets are willing to listen.

Robert Saleh has finalized his offensive staff. OC — Mike LaFleur; QB — Rob Calabrese; WR — Miles Austin; OL — John Benton; RB — Taylor Embree; TE — Ron Middleton; Pass game specialist — Greg Knapp. It's a relatively inexperienced staff. Calabrese, Embree and Miles Austin are first-time position coaches on the NFL level. LaFleur is a first-time play caller. Benton, Middleton and Knapp have plenty of experience.

The newest head coach of the New York Jets, Robert Saleh, joins the guys talking about his coaching philosophies, how he's approaching the QB question, why defensive coaches can be head coaches and much much more.
The Jets announced the hiring of Jeff Ulbrich as defensive coordinator. He was the Falcons' LB coach last season, but moved to the DC role when Raheem Morris replaced HC Dan Quinn in Week 6. From that point on, the Falcons were 29th in yards allowed and 19th in points allowed. Ulbrich and Saleh coached together on the Seahawks' staff in 2010. Saleh said they will run a 49ers-style defense (4-3 front). Mike LaFleur was announced as the OC.
The debut of the Net's Big 3 results in a loss. Max thinks they'll need to address that defense to be successful. Jets' new head coach Robert speaks at a press conference. Max is impressed with Salah. Max has Joel Embiid as his NBA MVP so far. ESPN Jets' Insider Rich Cimini drops by to give us the reaction to Saleh behind the scenes.
Thoughts on Robert Saleh's intro: There won't be any memes off this presser. He was head coach-like, demonstrating a clear vision for the Jets. He praised Sam Darnold, but didn't commit to him — no surprise there. He announced his OC (Mike LeFleur) and DC (Jeff Ulbrich). The only thing that seems clumsy is that he will be working for an owner (Woody Johnson) he's never met. That's mitigated somewhat by the new organizational structure. Saleh reports to GM Joe Douglas, whose power has increased.

Jeff Ulbrich has surfaced as a possible defensive-coordinator hire for Robert Saleh. Ulbrich ended the season as the Falcons' interim DC after serving six years as the LBs coach. He and Saleh go back to Seattle, where they worked on Pete Carroll's staff in the early 2010s.
Should the disgruntled Houston quarterback be on the move, it would be borderline negligent for the Jets to pass. But would the feeling be mutual?
