Immediately after the Denver Broncos fired former special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica in January, speculation started that Sean Payton could hire Darren Rizzi as the club’s new special teams coach.
Last week, KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis reported that Rizzi “is in line” to get the ST job in Denver if he does not become the new head coach of the New Orleans Saints. That report has since been confirmed by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The Saints are expected to hire Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore as their new head coach after the Super Bowl. That would leave Rizzi available to land with the Broncos.
“As the #Saints zero in on Kellen Moore, slated to have another conversation with him after the Super Bowl, interim coach Darren Rizzi is likely to become the new #Broncos special teams coordinator, sources say,” Rapoport tweeted last week.

Rizzi, 54, served as a special teams coordinator under Payton in New Orleans and he was promoted to interim head coach last fall after the Saints fired Dennis Allen. He is now expected to reunite with Payton in Denver sometime after the Super Bowl.
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 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.
