The hiring, confirmed by a source and officially announced by the Broncos, is seen as a significant addition to the Broncos' front office, with general manager George Paton noting the need for a fresh perspective. Shaw had previously interviewed for the Broncos' head coach position, and he and Paton have maintained contact since. His addition is considered a key asset to the team's front office.
