The Broncos are losing a top offensive assistant coach to Buffalo, but it's not Davis Webb. Pete Carmichael, a senior offensive assistant in Denver, is set to join the Bills as their new offensive coordinator. This move comes as a surprise, given Carmichael's long-standing relationship with head coach Sean Payton, who he has worked with for over 30 years. The departure of Carmichael marks a significant shift in the Broncos' coaching staff, as he and Joe Lombardi, the former offensive coordinator, have been key figures in Payton's coaching career. With Payton's 20th year as a head coach approaching in 2026, this could be the first time he has a coaching staff without either Carmichael or Lombardi. The Broncos' offensive strategy will undoubtedly change with Carmichael's departure, and the team will need to adapt to a new set of voices in the meeting room. Meanwhile, Davis Webb, who was in the running for a head coaching position in Las Vegas, is now a sought-after candidate for offensive coordinator roles across the NFL. As the season progresses, Webb's potential return to Denver and promotion to offensive coordinator becomes more likely, especially given his close relationship with quarterback Josh Allen and his fondness for the city.
