Overview
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Denver plans to hire John Morton to the same role he held with the Broncos in 2023–24.
- Morton returned to Denver as a postseason offensive consultant after the Lions dismissed him following the 2025 season.
- He was Detroit’s offensive coordinator in 2025 before Dan Campbell assumed play-calling duties midseason and the team fired him after the year.
- Detroit still ranked top five in scoring and total offense last season, though inconsistency in the run game highlighted the critiques of Morton’s tenure.
- Denver has reworked its staff lately, firing Joe Lombardi and adding Ronald Curry and Doug Belk as Sean Payton reshapes the coaching group.
