Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell hired former New York Jets general manager John Idzik to a full-time position and promoted two other personnel executives today.
Idzik, who was the Jets’ GM the previous two years, was hired by the Jaguars as an advisor before free agency in March. His new title will be special assistant to the general manager.
During his time with the Jaguars, Idzik has worked closely with director of football adminstration Tim Walsh with salary cap management and contract structuring.
Idzik was fired by Jets owner Woody Johnson a day after the 2014 season ended in a purge that also included coach Rex Ryan.
