The Denver Broncos have two candidates to leave the team for a head coach job this offseason.
The first candidate is defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, who is set to interview for the open New York Jets job today, according to multiple reports. After the NY interview, Joseph will have a HC interview with the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.
If Joseph leaves the Broncos for a HC job with another NFL team, Denver will receive a pair of third-round compensatory draft picks (one in 2025 and one in 2026).
Another candidate to leave the Broncos in 2025 is senior personnel executive David Shaw, who interviewed for the Chicago Bears’ head coach position on Tuesday.

Because Shaw has only been in Denver for one season, the Broncos will not receive comp picks if he gets a head coach job in 2025.
Meanwhile, Denver’s assistant special teams coach, Chris Banjo, is a candidate for the San Francisco 49ers’ special teams coordinator role, and Broncos assistant general manager Darren Mougey is a candidate for the Jets’ GM position.
Denver might have to find some replacement coaches and executives in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.
