Broncos Hand Play-Calling to Davis Webb as Payton Bets on a Margin-Driven Win

Breer reports that Sean Payton is keeping Davis Webb as the Broncos’ play-caller, arguing the move is a deliberate, evidence-backed strategy to win and will keep Payton involved in the offense while Webb develops. Crosby says he’s content with his Raiders situation after a chaotic trade saga, and Houston’s young core—led by Will Anderson Jr. and Derek Stingley Jr.—is building a “swarm”-style culture on defense with an improving offense. The RB market is heating up after big deals for Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs, with Jonathan Taylor’s contract signaling the broader trend. Breer also commends Roger Craig for openly discussing head injuries and signals optimism about Aaron Donald’s return plan, with a phased ramp-up. He closes with quick notes on coaching longevity, preseason usage of Anthony Richardson, and other league-wide topics from Harbaugh/McDaniel to Detroit’s homegrown extensions.

Day 5 of Raiders training camp in pads heightened the trench battles: Maxx Crosby, healthy and aggressive, dominated rushes alongside Kwity Paye; interior line stability from Tyler Linderbaum with help from Spencer Burford and Jackson Powers‑Johnson opened running lanes for Ashton Jeanty and Mike Washington Jr. on the ground and in the passing game.

The Raiders initially sent Crosby to the Ravens for two first-round picks, but the deal collapsed due to concerns about his surgically repaired knee. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said they didn’t walk away from the pursuit, while Crosby downplays the rumors and stays focused on his team.
