26 Feb
Summary
- Broncos prioritize running back, linebacker, and tight end.
- New play-calling duties for Davis Webb under Sean Payton.
- Key coaching staff changes include new defensive coordinators.
The Denver Broncos are setting their offseason course by focusing on crucial positions: running back, inside linebacker, and tight end. Coach Sean Payton has named Davis Webb as the new offensive play-caller, signaling a shift in offensive strategy.
Key veteran free agents like J.K. Dobbins at running back and inside linebackers Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad are priorities for re-signing. The team is also evaluating draft prospects for linebacker, including potential first-round pick C.J. Allen. At tight end, Denver seeks a versatile player to complement Evan Engram.
Significant coaching staff transitions are also occurring. Robert Livingston is set to join as the defensive pass-game coordinator, replacing Jim Leonhard. Ronald Curry will serve as the wide receivers coach, a role he previously held in New Orleans. Doug Belk is also joining as defensive backs coach.
Reflecting on the past season, Payton emphasized the need to improve in close games, despite a successful 15-win record. General Manager George Paton is reportedly nearing a contract extension, with Payton advocating for his continued presence. The team aims for an aggressive yet measured approach to free agency and trades.
