Todd Bowles adds three more assistants to Jets' coaching staff

The New York Jets' coaching staff should be just about complete.

On Thursday, head coach Todd Bowles filled the only position-coach vacancy on his staff, hiring former Minnesota Vikings tight ends coach Jimmie Johnson for the same position. Johnson, a former tight end who played with Bowles on the Washington Redskins, worked with the Vikings from 2006 to 2013. He was out of football last season.

The Jets also announced the hirings of Daylon McCutcheon (assistant secondary) and Ryan Slowik (assistant defensive line/quality control). McCutcheon retired 10 years ago after a seven-year career in the league, playing under Bowles from 2001 to 2004 with the Cleveland Browns. He has no NFL coaching experience; he spent last season as a coaching intern for the Arizona Cardinals, reuniting with Bowles.

Slowik, who has 10 years of NFL coaching experience, spent the last two seasons with Bowles as the Cardinals' assistant secondary coach.
