Pat Shurmur had no shortage of teams calling after he was let go by the New York Giants at the end of the 2019 season.
After two seasons with the Giants, Shurmur had as many as five teams calling about their offensive coordinator positions, including the Denver Broncos, who already had Rich Scangarello under contract for that particular role.
The Broncos saw an opportunity to upgrade with Shurmur and they took it.
But it always takes two to tango.
The Broncos may have wanted Shurmur, but obviously this isn't like a waivers process where they just got to claim a coach that was released by another team.
