According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, current Tampa Bay Buccaneers run game coordinator/defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers is set to become the Detroit Lions’ defensive line coach. Rodgers will replace Terrell Williams, who was Detroit’s defensive line coach before taking on the New England Patriots’ defensive coordinator position.

Rodgers was one of three reported interviews that the Packers set up with defensive line coaches to replace Aaron Rebrovich, who they fired earlier this offseason. Rodgers, Aaron Whitecotton of the New York Jets and former Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Eric Washington are the coaches who head coach Matt LaFleur has brought in so far.

It is debatable whether Rodgers was the Packers’ leading candidate for the job, but it’s worth noting that he was the only candidate with an active coordinator title.

Considering that Williams was named a defensive coordinator on Wednesday and the Packers released Rebrovich from his contract nearly a week ago, it’s safe to say that the Lions moved quickly to get this deal done.

Now that the Bears and Jets have hired head coaches, it appears that offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich and defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley will return to the team in 2025, so at least the Packers don’t have to replace those coaches. Beyond their defensive line coach opening, the only other vacancy on their roster is their quarterbacks coach, as Tom Clements has retired. So far, we’ve heard nothing about who is in consideration to be Jordan Love’s next quarterbacks coach.
