Until Sean Payton comes out and confirms it either way, there is going to be speculation about whether or not he's going to continue calling plays for the Denver Broncos' offense in 2026. Previously, that hadn't even been a thought in anyone's mind, but when the Broncos were able to lure Davis Webb back as their offensive coordinator, the thinking changed.
Ian Rapoport was the one who put it out there, prior to the Broncos hiring Webb, that Sean Payton had attempted to hire Joe Brady to be his offensive coordinator, possibly to call plays as well.
