FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - The New York Jets ended their two-week search for an offensive coordinator, hiring former Denver Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett on Thursday - a move that will fuel speculation about a potential Aaron Rodgers trade.
Hackett, who replaces Mike LaFleur, served as the Green Bay Packers' offensive coordinator from 2019 to 2021 and developed a good relationship with Rodgers, whose future in Green Bay appears uncertain. The Jets are expected to be in the market for a veteran quarterback. Saleh interviewed seven known candidates for the position, opting for a veteran coach with extensive play-calling experience and someone he knows well.
