After Assistant Head Coach Jim Leonhard Joins Bills as DC, 3 Broncos Players Want to Follow Him to Buffalo
Buffalo Bills is entering a new defensive era under Jim Leonhard, who was recently appointed as the team’s Defensive Coordinator (DC). Prior to joining the Bills, Leonhard played a key role at Denver Broncos, where he served as Assistant Head Coach and Defensive Pass Game Coordinator while also overseeing the secondary. During his time with the Broncos, Leonhard built trust and respect with the players, and now, some of them are interested in following him to Buffalo. According to league chatter, three players from Broncos are reportedly interested in joining Leonhard in Buffalo, driven by their familiarity with his system and the trust they have in him. Justin Strnad Strnad had the most productive season of his career under Leonhard, emerging as a reliable linebacker with strong coverage ability and pass-rush impact. With Buffalo facing questions about durability and depth at linebacker, Strnad views the Bills as a situation where he could compete for a meaningful role right away. P.J. Locke Locke was a full-time starter under Leonhard during his first season in Denver and thrived in a system that valued versatility and clear assignments. As the Bills look to get younger and more flexible in the secondary, Locke sees Buffalo as a logical landing spot to reestablish himself. John Franklin-Myers Franklin-Myers brings a physical presence up front, combining reliable run defense with steady pass-rush production. Given Buffalo’s need to improve consistency along the defensive line, he has interest in reuniting with Leonhard in a scheme he already knows well. While nothing is finalized, the shared interest between Leonhard and these former Broncos defenders highlights a clear path Buffalo could explore as free agency approaches.
