Overview
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Morton joined the Broncos this week as a consultant for the postseason.
- Morton previously worked under Sean Payton, serving as Denver’s pass game coordinator in 2023 and 2024 and holding roles on Payton’s Saints staff.
- He arrived on the market after Detroit removed his play-calling duties following Week 9 and later announced he would not return after the season.
- Reporting describes his assignment as limited and situational, with an emphasis on sequencing, red-zone decisions, and opponent tendencies.
- Denver, the AFC’s No. 1 seed at 14-3, hosts the Bills in the Divisional Round, a context in which short-term consultant additions are common for playoff preparation.
