REPORT: Three-Time Super Bowl Champion Andy Reid Leaves Chiefs for Jets

Kansas City, MO — In a shocking turn of events, longtime Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has reportedly decided to leave the franchise to take over as head coach of the New York Jets.

The move comes just weeks after Reid secured his third Super Bowl title with the Chiefs, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history.

Sources close to the situation say Reid was lured by a massive contract offer from Jets owner Woody Johnson, along with the opportunity to rebuild a historic franchise desperate for success.

The deal is rumored to include full control over personnel decisions, something Reid had largely deferred to general manager Brett Veach in Kansas City.

The news sent shockwaves through the NFL, with Chiefs players and fans reacting with a mixture of disbelief and gratitude. Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes posted a cryptic message on social media: “Forever grateful. We did some special things. Wishing you nothing but the best, Coach!”

Meanwhile, Travis Kelce, a longtime Reid loyalist, addressed the news on his podcast, New Heights, saying: “This one hurts, man. Big Red is family. But hey, if there’s one guy who can turn the Jets around, it’s him.”

Reid’s departure leaves the Chiefs scrambling to find a replacement. Early speculation points to offensive coordinator Matt Nagy as a potential successor, but Kansas City may also explore outside hires.

As for the Jets, landing Reid is a monumental victory. After years of instability and coaching changes, they finally have a proven winner to lead the franchise. With quarterback Aaron Rodgers expected to return healthy next season, the Jets could be instant contenders under Reid’s guidance.

Neither the Chiefs nor Reid have officially commented on the report, but an announcement is expected soon. If confirmed, this move will go down as one of the most stunning coaching changes in NFL history.
