Jets, DL coach Aaron Whitecotton agree to new contract

Aaron Whitecotton will be back for a fourth season coaching the Jets’ defensive linemen.

As the Jets continue to figure out their coaching staff for 2024, one coach that will be sticking around is defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton.

The two sides agreed to a new contract Wednesday, per Brian Costello of the New York Post.

Keeping Whitecotton is huge for the Jets. New toe boasts one of the better defensive lines in the NFL and was very key this past season for the quick development and strong campaigns from Bryce Huff and Jermaine Johnson.

Whitecotton just finished his third season coaching the defensive line for the Jets. He will be back for a fourth season.

Whitecotton has been an NFL coach since 2013, starting as a defensive assistant with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has also coached in Buffalo and San Francisco before joining the Jets in 2021.

Bengals offense finally came to life against Jets and left Quinnen Williams lashing out at a coach

Things got HEATED on the Jets sideline.

If there was ever a game for the Cincinnati Bengals offense to get on track, it was Sunday’s Week 3 tilt with the New York Jets.

New York allowed 54 points through the first two weeks of the season and ranked near the bottom of the league in sacks with three in that span. As advertised, that defense was the remedy Cincy needed. The Bengals matched their season high of 20 points by halftime, and Joe Burrow threw for over 200 yards and two touchdowns.

Sometime after the second of those scores, a 56-yarder to Tyler Boyd late in the first quarter, Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams got into it with a coach on the sideline. And this thing was HEATED.

It’s probably safe to assume Williams was singled out for a blown play and didn’t appreciate it. Or he’s tired of the Jets defense being a pushover, and the frustration boiled over.

Whatever the case, they better pull it together soon. The live betting line at BetMGM was -13.5 after two quarters. The 20-9 halftime score can end up a lot worse.
