Robert Saleh has a new team and job.
The name of the new position was not announced but Saleh is now helping out the Green Bay Packers in some capacity.
Saleh was spotted on the sideline during a recent practice in Green Bay. Then Packers head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that Saleh, one of his close friends, will be helping out the team’s offense not defense.
According to the Packers’ website, Saleh will at least be with Green Bay through Thursday of this week.

As LaFleur explained, Saleh’s in the building to help with the offense despite his past as a defensive-minded coach like he was with the Jets. The idea is that Saleh will give his perspective on Green Bay’s offense and how a defense might look at it.
Saleh was fired in New York following the team’s 2-3 start to the season. The Jets now sit at 2-5 and have yet to win since he was dismissed.
LaFleur discussing Saleh helping out the Packers can be found in the clip below:

It’s ‘pretty fluid’ in terms of his role so he can spend time with his family + but also stay involved in football. LaFleur said… pic.twitter.com/eoEZI2whZT
