A thought that once seemed blasphemy may now become reality. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the ex-Jets coach — currently with ESPN — is a top candidate for the Broncos’ defensive coordinator role.

Comeback? Rex Ryan has emerged as a top candidate for the #Broncos defensive coordinator job, per me and @MikeGarafolo. Ryan has been on ESPN after being fired by the #Bills in 2016.
