Mike Maccagnan started cleaning house in the New York Jets’ personnel offices Friday, firing college scouting directors Terry Bradway and Jeff Bauer.

Maccagnan, hired as the Jets’ general manager on Tuesday, also reportedly will dismiss personnel executive Rod Graves.

Bradway had been with the Jets for 14 years, including serving as the general manager from 2001 to 2005.

Bauer was with the team for 13 years, spending the last three as scouting director.

“They have made valuable contributions to the New York Jets for more than a decade and we wish them both success in the future,” Maccagnan said in statement.

Graves, former general manager of the Arizona Cardinals, was added in 2013 to assist new general manager John Idzik.

The Jets fired Idzik and coach Rex Ryan on Dec. 29 and have since replaced them with Maccagnan and Todd Bowles.
