The New York Jets and head coach Aaron Glenn found their new offensive coordinator on Wednesday, as the franchise hired Frank Reich to lead the offense after firing Tanner Engstrand last week.

Reich has a ton of coaching experience under his belt, including as a head coach and coordinator. He’s best known for his tenure with the Indianapolis Colts, where he led the team to a 40-33 record in four and a half seasons with a playoff win.
During his time in Indianapolis, Reich coached quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who is currently with the Arizona Cardinals.
However, with Reich now in New York as the offensive coordinator, SNY’s Connor Hughes believes Brissett is now a trade target for the Jets this offseason to address the quarterback position.
“Brissett, 33, is a potential trade target. He went 7-8 as a starter for Reich in 2019, throwing for 2,942 yards with 18 touchdowns and six interceptions. He has one year left on his contract with the Cardinals,” Hughes wrote.

Brissett has a plethora of starting experience throughout his 10-year career. The veteran started 12 games for the Arizona Cardinals in 2025, tossing 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions, though he also posted a 1-11 record.
Though Brissett isn’t a winning starter in the NFL and is far from a franchise signal-caller, he would be a solid backup for the Jets who could step in if needed.
Additionally, his experience with Reich would make him a valuable member of New York’s quarterback room and a fantastic mentor for a potential rookie quarterback.
If Arizona is willing to trade Brissett, the Jets should give up a late Day 3 pick for the Super Bowl LI champion and add some experience to the quarterback room.
