Jets new coach Aaron Glenn has taken notice. Broncos assistant Chris Banjo is viewed as the favorite to land the Jets special teams coordinator position, per a source.

The Denver Broncos are losing another assistant coach to a promotion after Chris Banjo was hired by the New York Jets on Wednesday.

David Shaw found a new home Thursday, finishing up a multi-year contract to join the Lions as their passing game coordinator, a source confirmed.

Aaron Glenn is starting to fill out his coaching staff and is bringing Steve Heiden from Detroit to be the Jets' offensive line coach, according to a report from NFL Media's Tom Pelissero. Heiden, 48, has 12 years of coaching experience in the NFL and spent the past two seasons with the Lions as a tight ends coach.

A source said Wednesday the Jets are hiring Denver assistant special teams coach Chris Banjo as their special teams coordinator. That follows the Jets last Saturday naming Broncos assistant general manager Darren Mougey as general manager.

Denver still hasn't filled its special teams coordinator role after moving on from Ben Kotwica after its wild-card loss in Buffalo.

Plus, a look at some under-the-radar needs the Broncos have as they try to build a contending roster in 2025 and beyond.
