Todd Bowles has seen what incorporating a future Hall of Fame quarterback onto a new team looks like.

Bowles was the defensive coordinator for the Buccaneers when Tom Brady joined the team in 2020.

Bowles became Tampa Bay’s head coach last year, with Brady still at quarterback.

The former Jets head coach knows what challenges await his former team as they prepare for the arrival of Aaron Rodgers.

How much power should the Jets hand Rodgers?

How much say should he have in what plays they run?

How much should the Jets listen to his personnel decisions?

The Jets can learn from how Tampa Bay handled Brady.

It worked out well in Brady’s first season with the team, when the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl.

Brady brought some of his friends to play for Tampa Bay, most notably Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Brown. Bowles said the Buccaneers listened to Brady on suggestions at skill positions, but ultimately the decision lay with the coach and general manager, not the star quarterback.

“You run the team how you run the team,” Bowles said at the NFL meetings last month. “You can’t tailor the team towards a quarterback. You can get a guy here or there or you can listen and look to see if it fits. But the coach and the GM run the team.”

Rodgers has already given the Jets suggestions of players he’d like to play with.

Some have characterized that as a “wish list.”

The Jets have already signed Allen Lazard, a wide receiver Rodgers knows well from Green Bay.

They are also showing interest in receiver Odell Beckham Jr., a player Rodgers has said publicly he would like to play with.

In terms of the offense, it won’t be as big of an adjustment for Rodgers as it was for Brady.

Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett worked with Rodgers for three years in Green Bay.

Brady had to get used to the Tampa Bay offense of head coach Bruce Arians and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich.

“For us, it was a process,” Bowles said. “When Tom came in, Bruce was such a great offensive coordinator, him and Byron, they had a plan, we have our system. But you also have to listen to see what he’s comfortable with, as well. I can’t speak for anybody else but it was a good collaboration with our guys once we got him. It’s a lot of give and take there. You want to run your system but you want to help him be successful, so you want to bring some things to the table that he does well also.”

Bowles has coached young quarterbacks before, such as Sam Darnold with the Jets.

This year, Jets head coach Robert Saleh will be going from Zach Wilson, who had very little experience, to a four-time MVP in Rodgers.

“From an experience standpoint, it’s different,” Bowles said. “You have an established guy who can run it with his eyes closed and the work ethic is there. When you have a young guy, you have to bring them along to learn the system and learn the NFL game. I think they’re two different ways of teaching that. You’re still trying to find out about a young guy. An old guy, you know what he can do. It’s just a matter of collaborating and doing the things you want to do along with the things he wants to do.”
