Mick Lombardi is in his fourth season with the 49ers and his first as an offensive quality control coach. He returns to the offensive side of the ball after spending last season as a defensive assistant. He served as an offensive assistant in 2014 and an assistant to the head coach in 2013.

Prior to joining the 49ers, Lombardi served as both a scouting assistant and coaching assistant for the New England Patriots, where his duties included evaluating players, breaking down film for the offense, assisting all offensive coaches, running the scout team, and charting plays for the coaching staff.

Lombardi was hired as a training camp intern in the scouting department for the Patriots in 2011 before being promoted to a full-time post prior to the regular season.

Before his time in the NFL, Lombardi was a student assistant coach at Fordham University for the 2009 and 2010 seasons. In that role, he was responsible for film break down, scouting reports, and the scout team.

Lombardi graduated from Fordham University in the spring of 2011 with a degree in communications.

Is Cutler a free agent?

nope

Jay Cutler signed a 7 year contract with the Chicago Bears worth $126.7 million on January 2, 2013. $38 million becomes fully guaranteed on the 3rd day of the 2014 League Year. Cutler’s 2016 salary is guaranteed for injury upon signing with $10 million becoming fully guaranteed on the 3rd day of the 2015 League Year and the remaining $6 million becoming fully guaramteed on the 3rd day of the 2016 League Year. Cutler’s contract contains roster bonuses from 2017 through 2020 that total $2.5 million. Each week that Cutler is active he will earn $156,250 of that roster bonus. If Cutler fails to attend offseason workouts his salary will be reduced by $500,000.
On March 21, 2014 Cutler converted $5 million of his 2014 base salary into a signing bonus. The move created $4 million in 2014 salary cap space.

doesn't mean he can't be cut tho

#Jets announce Jeremy Bates as their new QBs coach

Offensive Coordinator Jeremy Bates was fired by the Seahawks by then head coach Pete Carroll on January 18, 2011. A difference in "philosophy" was stated as being the reason behind the move.

Two months later they drafted Russell Wilson.

Jason Vrable will enter his fourth year in the NFL and with the Bills in 2016 as he takes on a new role as the team’s assistant quarterbacks coach.

Vrable spent his first three seasons with the team as the team's offensive quality control coach. Vrable transitioned to working with QB coach David Lee in 2015 after spending 2014 working with the wide receivers and 2013 with the quarterbacks.

Vrable helped Bills QB Tyrod Taylor seamlessly transition during his first season as the Bills starting quarterback. Taylor, who became the first Buffalo quarterback to earn Pro Bowl honors since Drew Bledsoe in 2002, established a new franchise record for rushing yards by a Bills QB in a single season with 568 yards. In addition to providing a dynamic threat on the ground, Taylor made the Bills a viable threat through the air as his 99.4 passer rating is the second-best in team history behind only Jim Kelly in 1990.

In his time working with the wide receivers, Vrable helped lead Sammy Watkins to the best season by a rookie wide receiver in franchise history, recording  a team record 65 receptions for 982 yards and six touchdowns.

Vrable helped guide QB EJ Manuel in his rookie season in 2013, as Manuel set franchise records in both touchdowns (11) and completions (180) by a quarterback.

In his role as an Assistant QB coach, Vrable is responsible for the breakdown of film and assisting with the implementation of game plans.

Prior to joining the Bills, Vrable spent two years as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the University of Charleston (WV). He had prior coaching stints at Syracuse and Robert Morris.

Vrable was also a former college quarterback at Marietta College

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the Jets are a "possibility" to acquire Jay Cutler.

The Jets hired Jeremy Bates as their new QBs coach on Wednesday. He and Cutler have a long history together, and by most accounts, the two really like working with each other. Bates was Cutler's QBs coach in Denver early in his career when he went to the Pro Bowl, and then Bates was brought over to Chicago in 2012 to work with Cutler again. On top of Bates, the Jets also currently employ former Bears teammates Matt Forte and Brandon Marshall. It could be a match. The Bears are fully expected to release Cutler over the next month.

I am starting to believe the Jets may carry 9 qb's on their roster this year.

Interesting pick up, reassembling the '09 Trojans, maybe go after Carrol next year, lol.  

The reports on the '09 Trojans aren't inspiring, bad on 3rd downs, offense was mediocre, but they also faced major issues with a freshman QB taking over.  It'll be interesting to see how they have evolved from then to now, with different experiences.
