The New York Jets have formally hired Rod Graves as senior director of football administration.

Graves was general manager of the Cardinals until 2012.

Graves and Jets' GM John Idzik worked together with the Cardinals and met as ball boys for the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Jets also named Matt Bazirgan assistant director of pro personnel, and named four college area scouts: former cornerback Aaron Glenn, David Boller, David Hinson and Christopher Prescott. Rick Courtright has been named NFS College Scout.
