Cincinnati Bengals tab former Patriots coach as DL coach in 2025

The Cincinnati Bengals will have a new defensive line coach arriving alongside new defensive coordinator Al Golden.

According to The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr., Jerry Montgomery is the pick to lead that positional group under Golden.

Montgomery last served as the defensive line coach with the New England Patriots and will enter his 20th season overall as a coach. He spent nine seasons with the Green Bay Packers before last year’s stint in Foxborough.

In addition to a new offensive line coach, the Bengals have now completely remade the groups in charge of the trenches on both sides of the ball.

Montgomery will find himself tasked with attempting to get development out of former first-rounder Myles Murphy, plus sophomores Kris Jenkins Jr. and McKinnley Jackson — and whoever else the Bengals might add between free agency and the draft.
