Broncos Reunite With John Morton as Pass-Game Coordinator
The Denver Broncos hired former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator John Morton as their offensive passing-game coordinator on Sunday, a source with knowledge of the hire confirmed to Luca Evans of The Denver Post. Morton served as Denver's passing-game coordinator in 2023 and 2024 under head coach Sean Payton before taking the Lions' OC job last year. Detroit stripped Morton of play-calling duties around midseason before firing him. Payton quickly brought him back as a consultant during the postseason, and now he's officially back for the 2026 season. Following the 2025 season, the Broncos fired OC Joe Lombardi and replaced him with Davis Webb, a rising young coach who received looks as a head coach during this hiring cycle. Morton has plenty of experience with Payton, also serving as his receivers coach in Payton's first year with the Saints in 2006.
