Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Las Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, and former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh were among the requests.
Moore's Eagles ranked eighth in yards (367.2) and seventh in points (27.2) per game in 2024. The 35-year-old has been an offensive coordinator since 2019. He spent 2019-2022 with the Dallas Cowboys, 2023 with the Los Angeles Chargers, and 2024 with Philly.
The Ravens' offense was among the league's most dominant. Baltimore's 424.9 yards per game paced all teams, and the club's 30.5 points per contest ranked third in the NFL. Monken joined the Ravens in 2023 after spending three seasons as Georgia's offensive coordinator.
Brady's Bills offense also posted impressive numbers: the unit was second in scoring (30.9) and 10th in yards per game. He led Buffalo to sixth- and fourth-ranked finishes in those respective categories last season.
Graham's contract with the Raiders has ended, and he'll also interview for the Cincinnati Bengals' vacant defensive coordinator position, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Las Vegas' defense allowed 333.1 yards and 25.5 points per game this season.
Saleh, 45, was fired by the Jets after Week 5 of the 2024 campaign. He posted a 20-36 record during his time with New York. The Jets' defense has ranked in the top four in yards allowed each of the last three seasons.
Earlier reports indicated the franchise's interest in Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen.
