New York Jets lose defensive assistant credited with developing Jamal Adams

The New York Jets have largely kept their coaching staff intact this offseason — something that the team has struggled to do in recent years. But that doesn’t mean that the entire staff will be retained going into next year.

The Cincinnati Bengals announced a few hirings to head coach Zac Taylor’s staff and Jets safeties’ coach Steve Jackson was among the names listed.

Jackson was hired by the Jets prior to the 2018 season as part of then-head-coach Todd Bowles final staff in New York. When Adam Gase took over as the team’s coach, Jackson was one of the few coaches who he retained.
