Overview

  • The Broncos announced the five-year extension on Thursday, June 11, replacing the final two years of Payton’s prior contract and keeping him under club control through the 2030 season.
  • Owner and CEO Greg Penner praised Payton’s role in the team’s turnaround, saying the move creates alignment and stability with general manager George Paton.
  • The team did not disclose financial terms of the contract.
  • Payton has handed offensive play-calling to Davis Webb, who was promoted to offensive coordinator and will run the offense to start the 2026 season.
  • Payton was acquired from the New Orleans Saints in a costly 2023 trade and has led Denver from 8-9 in 2023 to a 14-3 season and an AFC Championship Game appearance in 2025, a run that shapes expectations for the team as it monitors quarterback Bo Nix’s recovery and chases a Super Bowl.
