The Buffalo Bills announced a slew of changes, including additions, to their coaching staff earlier this week. Not among them? Davis Webb.
That’s because the former Bills quarterback has landed a job elsewhere in the NFL.
The Denver Broncos hired Webb to be their quarterbacks coach, according to Broncos Wire.
Webb was a third-round pick of the New York Giants in 2017 and ended his playing career there in 2022. From 2019 to 2021, he was in Buffalo and played on an offense led by then-coordinator Brian Daboll.
When Daboll moved on to become the New York Giants head coach, Webb was one of the former Bills players that followed.
At the end of the 2022 NFL season, reports indicated that Buffalo had interest in transferring Webb into a coaching role. However, he opted to keep playing and ended up appearing in his first regular season game with the Giants in 2022.
With that under his belt, Davis decided he wanted to become a coach and is doing so in Denver.
Perhaps the Bills might have reached out to Webb… but they could not offer what the Broncos did: QB coach.
Buffalo has Joe Brady, a younger coach with offensive coordinator experience, as their quarterbacks coach already. There’s a chance the Bills extended an assistant QB coach opportunity to Davis, but you can’t blame him for opting to join the Broncs in a lead role.
Denver recently changed their head coach after trading for Sean Payton via a deal with the New Orleans Saints. Webb joins Payton’s initial Broncos coaching staff.
