Returning from injury, J.K. Dobbins says the Broncos’ offense is loaded after adding Jaylen Waddle, with Bo Nix back and a talented group including Courtland Sutton and Pat Bryant, creating an “embarrassment of riches” and a high-expectation season for Denver.
Denver trades multiple picks to Miami for Jaylen Waddle. Waddle landed in Denver, was taken to dinner by QB Bo Nix and teammates on his first night, and after passing his physical the trade became official. He now teams with Courtland Sutton to form a dynamic WR duo as the Broncos look to build on last season’s AFC Championship run.
The Denver Broncos traded for Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins, giving Bo Nix and new offensive coordinator Davis Webb a proven, versatile playmaker and signaling an all-in push to upgrade the offense under Sean Payton; Waddle's production and route efficiency are expected to lift the Broncos' passing game and strengthen the receiver corps alongside Sutton and others.
Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq confirmed a meeting with the Denver Broncos at the NFL Scouting Combine and said reuniting with former Ducks quarterback Bo Nix would be “awesome.” Sadiq credited Nix for mentoring him in college and noted that if he posts a strong combine (potentially a 4.5-second 40-yard dash), he could be a first‑round candidate for Denver, which is prioritizing tight end depth and even weighing the possibility of moving up to No. 30.
Denver enters 2026 with a healthier Bo Nix and a mostly intact roster, fueling optimism that the Broncos could rise as several national rankings place them in the top half of the league. The defense is repeatedly praised (PFSN even labeled it elite) while offense questions linger from 2025, including Nix’s ceiling and overall offensive pop. With Payton at the helm and a strong defensive foundation, analysts see potential for another playoff run, but much depends on Nix continuing to develop and the offense delivering more consistency.
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton announced Davis Webb will be Offensive Coordinator and Logan Kilgore will be Quarterbacks Coach. Webb, who joined Denver in 2023 as QB coach and spent 2025 as pass game coordinator/QB coach, contributed to Bo Nix’s historic 7,500-yard, 50-touchdown production and helped the team’s passing offense rise from 20th to 11th in 2025 during his first year as pass game coordinator. Kilgore, previously a Broncos offensive quality control coach, has experience at Bakersfield College, Arkansas State and Isidore Newman and will now work with the tight ends and returners while guiding the Broncos quarterbacks.
Denver’s season ended in a loss after Bo Nix suffered a season-ending ankle injury. Coach Sean Payton later said doctors found a predisposed condition that would cause a break, prompting Nix to dispute the claim and describe the injury as a simple twist.

Broncos coach Sean Payton said QB Bo Nix has an ankle condition that made a bone break inevitable, a point he raised after Denver’s divisional-round playoff loss to the Bills and in discussing the season at the team’s year-end news conference.
Broncos quarterback Bo Nix suffered a broken ankle in the divisional round; coach Sean Payton said the surgeon found a predisposed condition and that the injury was not a matter of if, but when. Nix has a history of ankle issues, but the team remains optimistic about rehab and a return to football, with proper orthotics and a fair chance to resume activity after surgery.
Bo Nix had a preexisting ankle condition that predisposed him to a fracture, underwent surgery, and is in a staged rehab process. Denver’s Sean Payton and GM George Paton said the injury was known to be progressing toward this outcome and expect Nix back for May OTAs, with a 12–16 week timeline from surgery as he moves from scooter to crutches to walking boot.
A Denver Post opinion piece argues that if Bo Nix had started over Jarrett Stidham in the AFC Championship, the Broncos would have won by about two touchdowns, citing snow, a costly Stidham miscue, and strong Broncos play, while highlighting Nix’s upside and Denver’s ongoing revival under Sean Payton, with a nod to a potential future Nix–Maye matchup.
Bo Nix underwent successful ankle surgery to repair a fractured ankle and is projected to miss 3-4 months, with a return anticipated before minicamp; Jarrett Stidham will start for Denver in the AFC Championship as Nix recovers.
Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is projected to be ready roughly 12 weeks after ankle surgery, aiming to participate in the late-April offseason program, with Jarrett Stidham having started in the postseason in his absence.
