Executive profile at Pro Football Reference

Robert Terrence "Terry" Bradway is an American football executive. He was the general manager for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL) from 2001 to 2006. Bradway had worked in the personnel department for the Kansas City Chiefs prior to being hired as general manager of the Jets.[2][3]

Early life and career

A native of Atlantic City, New Jersey, Bradway played football at Holy Spirit High School and Trenton State College. After graduating from Trenton State, he returned to Holy Spirit as a junior varsity coach. After two seasons at Holy Spirit, Bradway joined the coaching staff at the University of Cincinnati, where two of his former HSHS players were playing. In 1979 he became the running backs coach at the United States Merchant Marine Academy. After one season at the academy, Bradway left coaching to pursue a master's degree in health and physical education at Glassboro State College.[4]

Executive career

In 1982, Bradway was a part-time scout for the Philadelphia Stars. The following year he became an administrative assistant to Stars' president and general manager Carl Peterson.[5] In 1985, he joined the New York Giants as a part-time scout. He was hired as a full-time scout in 1987.[6]

In 1992, Bradway joined the Kansas City Chiefs as a national scout.[7] The following year he was promoted to director of college scouting.[8] In 1997, he was promoted to director of player personnel.[9]

On January 9, 2001, Bill Parcells resigned as the New York Jets' director of football operations and recommended three of his former Giants' scouts (Bradway, Jerry Angelo, and Rick Donohue) as his successor. Two days later, the Jets hired Bradway as their general manager following a single interview.[10] As the Jets GM, the Jets complied a 39–41 record and made the playoffs three times.[11] Bradway resigned in February 2006 and was succeeded by his assistant general manager, Mike Tannenbaum.[12]

Bradway remained with the Jets as a senior personnel executive until the end of the 2014 season. He then scouted for the Miami Dolphins until 2020.[11] In 2022, he became a part-time consultant to the Carolina Panthers.[13]
