The Las Vegas Raiders have requested a head coach interview with Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Joseph is scheduled to interview with the New York Jets on Wednesday, and he’s expected to interview with the Raiders on Thursday or Friday, according to NFL insider Josina Anderson.
The Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars are also said to be interested in Joseph, but neither have requested an interview so far.
If the Broncos lose Joseph to a head coach job this offseason, Denver will receive a pair of third-round compensatory draft picks from the NFL after helping a minority coach build his resume and earn a promotion.
The Broncos also have a notable in-house replacement candidate in defensive backs coach Jim Leonhard, who has received DC interest from NFL clubs in the past.
Denver’s defense ranked third in points allowed per game (18.3) and first in sacks (63) during the 2024 season.
