One vacancy led to another.
When Darren Rizzi failed to land the New Orleans Saints head coaching job, his focus shifted to the Broncos for a reunion.
Rizzi is on the verge of reuniting with coach Sean Payton, his boss for three seasons in New Orleans from 2019-21, to take over as Denver’s special teams coordinator, a league source told The Denver Post.
It would be a good get for the Broncos, who are starting over in their special teams room after Mike Westhoff’s in-season departure for an eye issue, Chris Banjo’s exit to the New York Jets and the firing of Ben Kotwica.
