Sean Payton is in the market for a new offensive coordiantor for the first time since taking over the Denver Broncos, and all indications are that he will cast a wide net to find his next right-hand man. Payton dismissed Joe Lombardi on Tuesday afternoon following the Broncos' loss to the Patriots in the AFC title game, which included one of the worst offensive performances of any team in a conference title game ever.
Reports around Payton and the new Bills head coach Joe Brady revealed that Payton is at least open to giving up play-calling duties for the 2026 season, a trend we have seen in some of the better head coaches around the league in the past few years.
