The Broncos are bringing back Michael Wilhoite as a defensive assistant — a surprise move after he was fired in March 2025 over an airport altercation that led to criminal charges. Those charges were dropped this year, clearing the way for his return, though a civil lawsuit filed by the officer remains unresolved. Wilhoite, 39, previously coached outside linebackers for the team and now faces mediation in December. Meanwhile, the Broncos also deal with legal issues involving outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper, adding complexity to their offseason.
