The Bills are hiring Broncos assistant head coach and defensive pass game coordinator Jim Leonhard as defensive coordinator, according to a report Saturday from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Leonhard joins the new-look Bills staff after the franchise parted with Sean McDermott and hired offensive coordinator Joe Brady as the team’s next coach. He was an NFL safety for 10 seasons, which included two stops with the Bills—first from 2005 to ‘07 after he joined Buffalo as an undrafted free agent and later returning for a second stint in ‘13. He also spent time with the Ravens, Jets, Broncos and Browns as a player.
