ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Detroit Lions are working to hire Denver Broncos passing-game coordinator John Morton as their offensive coordinator to replace Ben Johnson, according to sources. Morton is traveling to Detroit on Monday to meet with the Lions. The 55-year-old was part of head coach Dan Campbell's staff in Detroit as a senior offensive assistant in 2022 before joining the Broncos in 2023. Morton also coached on Sean Payton's staff with the New Orleans Saints as a wide receivers coach when Campbell was the assistant head coach/tight ends coach in 2016. This wouldn't be Morton's first gig as an offensive coordinator in the NFL, as he held that role with the New York Jets in 2017. He was also the offensive coordinator at USC in 2009-10. Morton would become the second Broncos offensive assistant to leave this offseason, with TEs coach Declan Doyle being hired as the offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
