The Miami Dolphins have officially lost defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers to the New York Jets, with the Jets naming Rodgers their new defensive coordinator on Friday.
As Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald points out, "the move adds uncertainty to an already tenuous position for the Dolphins. The defensive line, full of highly paid players, crumbled in the second half of the season, and was a major reason the team lost four of its final six games to miss the playoffs for a sixth straight year."

Rodgers will work under former Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator and new Jets head coach Todd Bowles with the Jets. Bowles was the Dolphins' interim head coach back in 2011 after Tony Sparano's ouster from the team.
The Miami Dolphins will likely start the search for Rodgers' replacement as soon as possible, with current assistant defensive line coach Charlie Bullen a potential top candidate for the job.
