Overview

  • The team announced Bill Musgrave as quarterbacks coach and confirmed Seth Ryan (passing game coordinator), Alfredo Roberts (tight ends), Thomas Merkle (offensive assistant/assistant QBs), Al Netter (assistant offensive line) and Matthew Sargent (offensive assistant).
  • Musgrave, 58, is a former NFL quarterback and a longtime coach who led the Browns’ quarterbacks in 2025 and previously served multiple stints as an NFL offensive coordinator.
  • Thomas Merkle, Al Netter and Matthew Sargent followed new offensive coordinator Frank Reich from his Stanford staff, signaling Reich’s influence on the hires.
  • New York is coming off a 3-14 season and ranked last in passing yards per game at 140.3 in 2025, entering the offseason with the No. 2 pick and urgency to improve.
  • The quarterback depth chart remains unsettled, with reports indicating the Jets could move on from Justin Fields, hold mutual interest in re-signing Tyrod Taylor and evaluate external options that may include veterans connected to Musgrave.
