Buffalo Bills are hiring Denver Broncos assistant head coach/defensive pass game coordinator Jim Leonhard as their defensive coordinator
According to ESPN’s lead league insider, Adam Schefter, the Buffalo Bills are hiring Denver Broncos assistant head coach/defensive pass game coordinator Jim Leonhard to be their defensive coordinator. It was reported earlier in the week that he would be the leading candidate for the job, and despite interest from other teams, Leonhard will be the Bills’ new defensive coordinator.
Leonhard has been one of the hottest names in the defensive coordinator market. He had interviews with the Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens for their defensive coordinator positions and was linked and/or interviewed with the Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, and Jets. He was also considered the Broncos’ top in-house option to replace defensive coordinator Vance Joseph if he landed a head coaching job this offseason. However, with all signs pointing to Joseph staying in Denver, Leonhard explored his options and landed the Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator job.
This is a bit of a loss for the Broncos’ defensive coaching staff. Leonhard was an assistant head coach and the team’s defensive pass game coordinator. They also fired their cornerbacks coach, Addison Lynch, earlier in the week, so it appears that the Broncos will be making some changes to their defensive coaching staff this offseason.
This is also the second coach the Buffalo Bills have taken from the Broncos’ staff. Earlier this week, they named former Denver Broncos offensive assistant coach Pete Carmichael Jr. their offensive coordinator. He has ties to the Bills’ newly hired head coach, Joe Brady, and now will be his offensive coordinator in Buffalo.
Leonhard will take over a Bills defense that struggled badly against the run and saw Broncos quarterback Bo Nix throw 3 touchdowns against it in the divisional round of the playoffs. If he can turn that defense around and quarterback Josh Allen plays at his usual MVP level, the Bills can be Super Bowl contenders once again in the AFC.
DENVER (KDVR) — The last few days of May will be warm and mostly dry, but the Denver weather forecast does show a steady warming trend through the first week of June.
Highs on Saturday will be seasonal and mostly dry with a stray storm possible. Colorado will return to the low 80s on Sunday and will likely be dry across most of the state.
Denver weather tonight: Partly cloudy and mild
Skies will be partly cloudy overnight Friday. Any lingering showers will dissipate by midnight. Temperatures will remain slightly above normal with lows around Denver in the lower to middle 50s. Winds will be light from the south and southwest.
Denver weather Saturday: Seasonal and mostly sunny
Denver will see seasonally warm highs Saturday afternoon in the upper 70s, though the urban core may crack the lower 80s. An isolated storm or two may fire up in the afternoon north of Interstate 76 and the high country, but most of Colorado will remain dry.
Looking ahead: Warming to start June
Monday is the first day of June. Temperatures will be in the low 80s with a better chance for afternoon showers and storms. Winds will also be a bit breezy. The metro area will continue to warm Tuesday and Wednesday into the mid-80s. Both days have a chance for storms, but Tuesday will have a better setup for storms.
Denver will be drier the second half of the workweek as temperatures climb into the mid-80s. Next weekend may see highs back in the upper 80s. That’s not record-breaking, but quite warm for early June by about 10 degrees.
Von Miller has made it abundantly clear that he would like to return to the Denver Broncos and finish his career where it started. Miller has made that fact known at every possible opportunity, including a Von’s Vision charity event on Wednesday.
“I would love to bring back those Super Bowl 50 vibes, love to assist, to be the vice president to Bo Nix, to Courtland Sutton,” Miller said. “I’ve been the guy and also I’ve been the vice president as well. I would love to contribute to us getting back to the glory land, to holding up that trophy.”
Miller went on to note that he has lobbied coach Sean Payton to sign him (Payton coached Miller at a flag football tournament earlier this year).
Unfortunately for Miller, it sounds like there are no plans for a potential reunion with his old club. The Denver Post‘s Luca Evans reported that “as of last week,” there have been no talks between the Broncos and Miller’s representatives about a potential contract.
With a crowded outside linebacker room, Denver seems unlikely to re-sign Miller, but the 37-year-old pass rusher said he will “for sure” play in 2026. After totaling nine sacks with the Washington Commanders last fall, Miller will probably be able to find a home as a rotational pass rusher, but it might not be with the Broncos.

Denver Summit FC delays opening of Centennial Stadium, will play next 2 home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park
Denver Summit FC will play their next two home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
Colorado’s first professional women’s soccer team was hoping to be at their new training facility in Centennial by July, but team says recent rain delayed construction, so they need to push back by two weeks.
That means their July 3 and July 12 matches will be at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.
Summit FC is hopeful to be at their stadium in Centennial for their July 18 game against the Portland Thorns.
Centennial Stadium will ultimately become Summit’s training facility. They’ll play their games there until 2028, when they hope to move into their official home stadium at the Santa Fe Yards at Broadway and I-25. The Santa Fe Yards stadium will have room for more than 14,000 fans.
