NFL Notes: Hue Jackson, Bills, Dolphins, & Jets

Hue Jackson

• Jason Cole confirms that Packers assistant Mike Solari will likely be a target for Hue Jackson if he’s hired in the coming days.
• Interestingly enough, Cole adds that Jackson could consider bringing in former Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton to be his QBs coach.

Bills

• Football Scoop reports that Arkansas is hiring Bills offensive line assistant coach Kurt Anderson as their new offensive line coach.

Dolphins

• Armando Salguero reports that the Dolphins had a “long conversation” about possibly hiring former Giants HC Tom Coughlin, but ultimately decided there isn’t a long future in it, among other concerns.
• According to Salguero, one concern for the Dolphins was Coughlin’s game management.
• Regarding interim HC Dan Campbell, Salguero mentions that the Dolphins will probably “give him a couple of days” before contacting him again, which implies he wasn’t too happy with their decision to hire Adam Gase.

Jets

• Manish Mehta offers 10 moves for the Jets that they should consider making during the offseason.
• According to Mehta, he believes they should re-sign QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, RB Bilal Powell, and NT Damon Harrison.
• Beyond that, Mehta suggests trading DL Muhammad Wilkerson after franchising him.
• Other moves for the Jets would be to rework LT D’Brickshaw Ferguson’s contract and approach CB Antonio Cormartie about a paycut.
• Mehta adds that targeting a speedy edge-rusher and a quarterback would also make sense for them.
