The Jets and the Las Vegas Raiders are the only NFL teams looking to fill general manager and head coach vacancies this offseason. The Green & White are one of six clubs (Raiders, Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars and New Orleans Saints) searching for a head coach.

Connor Hughes of SNY reported Sunday morning that the team was "out" on former head coach Rex Ryan for the team's head coaching role. "Rex Ryan I heard is completely out," Hughes reported. "That is not gonna happen with the Jets.”

The New York Jets are on the hunt for a new head coach and could be going back to an old friend to fill the vacancy. Rex Ryan, who coached the Jets from 2009-2014, completed his interview for his old position Tuesday.

Cowden has been in his role with the Giants for the last two seasons. According to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports, Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf will retain personnel control in Cowden was the Titans interim general manager in 2022 when Vrabel was head coach in Tennessee.

The Patriots, who spent the 2024 season jockeying for position with the Jets for last place in the AFC East, instantly became a more formidable franchise the minute Mike Vrabel rejoined the team.
