There's good news and bad news on the personnel front for the Denver Broncos today.
First, the bad news: Darren Mougeyhas advanced as a finalists for the New York Jets ' general manager position. Mougey, currently an assistant GM in Denver, is one of two candidates getting a second interview in New York. The Jets could make their hire as early as Thursday evening .

New York 's new head coach, Aaron Glenn, wants to poach Broncos assistant special teams coach Chris Banjo . Denver might also be in danger of losing Mouge to the Jets.
Now, the good news: Darren Rizziis not expected to join the Chicago Bears , according to KUSA-TV's Mike Klis . The Bears were expected to pursue Rizzi as a special teams coordinator candidate after hiring Ben Johnson, but it now sounds like Chicago could keep in-house ST coach Richard Hightower instead.
That's good news for the Broncos because Rizzi is believed to be Denver's top choice to replace recently-fired ST coach Ben Kotwica. Rizzi is also a candidate for the head coach job with the New Orleans Saints , but he is not viewed as a top candidate for that role.
With the Bears seemingly no longer pursuing him, Rizzi could be a strong candidate to land with the Broncos this offseason.
