ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports “several people in the league” think Broncos coach Sean Payton will eventually relinquish playcalling to OC Davis Webb.

08 February 2026

We’ll believe it when we see it, of course, but it could be a way for the Broncos to continue to hold on to Webb while paying him as if he were a head coach. We have no mathematical data for how a Webb offense would run differently than a Payton one, and would likely be relying on quotes and beat-writer reports until we saw how it would play out on the field. It was already clear the Broncos really didn’t want Webb to get away, but giving him playcalling duties would be another level of dedication to that idea.
