Davis Webb becomes primary play-caller for Broncos in 2026, replacing Sean Payton.

The Denver Broncos announced that offensive coordinator Davis Webb will take over primary play-calling duties for the 2026 season, with head coach Sean Payton stepping back from the role despite remaining involved in strategy and calling plays in select situations. The move, effective after Payton’s tenure since 2023, aims to streamline operations and better support quarterback Bo Nix, leveraging Webb’s quarterback background and rapport with players like Evan Engram and Marvin Mims Jr. The transition follows the firing of former offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and reflects a strategic shift to enhance offensive continuity and player performance.
