The New England Patriots are retaining special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer, according to a report from NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport on Monday. Springer had the second overall special teams unit in the NFL, per statistics from Pro Football Focus. So it would make sense that coach Mike Vrabel would like to retain that success on the team.

The Detroit Lions lost offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to the Chicago Bears this week, and are bracing to lose defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn to a head coaching gig as well.

New York Jets running backs coach Tony Dews is joining the New England Patriots coaching staff, according to The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt. Dews' connection with coach Mike Vrabel comes from their time together with the Tennessee Titans.
