The Facts:
Former Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio could have taken a year off and collected his full salary for 2012, the final year of his contract. Instead, he’ll go back to work, for no extra money. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Del Rio has been hired to serve as the Broncos’ defensive coordinator.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The move reunites Del Rio with coach John Fox. They worked together in Carolina a decade ago, in Fox’s first year as coach of the Panthers. Del Rio served as defensive coordinator until becoming the Jaguars’ head coach in 2003. The Broncos used a 3-4 defense in 2011 under former coordinator and new Raiders coach Dennis Allen. Fox used a 4-3 in Jacksonville. According to PFT's Mike Florio, it’s currently unknown which approach the Broncos will use in 2012.
