The Facts:
Rex Ryan has filled a vital position on his coaching staff, hiring former Bills quarterbacks coach David Lee for the same position, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Sunday night. Lee replaces Matt Cavanaugh, whose contract wasn't renewed after the season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In a span of three days, the Jets have made two important additions to the staff: Lee and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, who's expected to install a West Coast offense. According to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini, Lee is a curious choice because he's not from the "West Coast" coaching tree, but he's a favorite of Ryan. In fact, Ryan tried to hire Lee last season, hoping to reunite him with coordinator Tony Sparano. Lee and Sparano worked together in Miami, where they introduced the Wildcat to the NFL. Lee is making a tour of the AFC East, having spent one season with the Bills and three with the Dolphins. In 2011, he was the coordinator for Ole Miss. Lee has eight seasons of NFL experience.
