The 2025 Broncos are the first team since the 2021 Los Angeles Rams to have three coaches poached for coordinator jobs, according to KUSA-TV's Mike Klis .
Additionally, Denver fired special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica and inside linebackers coach Greg Manusky . That gives the team five total positions on Sean Payton's staff that need to be filled this offseason.

Ex-senior personnel executive David Shaw also left for a coaching role with the Lions , but his old position is not necessarily one that needs to be filled.
Former New Orleans Saints interim coach/special teams coach Darren Rizzi is considered a top candidate to get the special teams coordinator job in Denver, and Phil Galiano could join him as an assistant.

Former New England Patriots tight ends coach Bob Bicknell could be a potential candidate to fill the TEs coach position in Denver, per Klis . Bicknell coached with Broncos senior offensive assistant Pete Carmichael with the New Orleans Saints from 2022-2023 when Carmichael was an offensive coordinator.
