#576: 2026 Denver Broncos Season Preview (with Brandon Krisztal)

1. Just how much of a game-changer do the Broncos think they have with Jaylen Waddle? 2. What are the possible occurrences this season that may force the Broncos to change their minds about making a long-term financial commitment to Bo Nix? 3. To the surprise (if not outright shock) of many, Sean Payton announced at the NFL Scouting Combine back in February that he was giving up offensive play-calling duties to new OC Davis Webb, who is viewed as a fast rising star in NFL coaching circles. But as you know in the NFL, when perception meets reality in the NFL, the latter more often than not makes the former look foolish. As promising as Davis Webb may be, he has no previous play-calling experience whatsoever, and one of your colleagues on the Broncos beat, Troy Renck of the Denver Post, is enormously skeptical this move will pay off. He believes that, barring say a top-10 offensive season from start to finish, that it's a matter of WHEN (not IF) Sean Payton yanks back play-calling responsibilities. Do you agree with Troy's sentiment, and if so, to what degree? 4. Can you see a world where Jonah Coleman is the Broncos main early-down back at the start of the 2027 season?5. How high is the likelihood that one of Riley Moss or Ja'Quan McMillian gets traded at some point during the season? 6. What are some of the top training camp storylines (roster battles, etc.) that Broncos fans should be monitoring come July 31?7. Can you think of some reasons the 2026 Broncos will NOT succumb to a similar fate as the 2023 Vikings and the 2025 Chiefs did? 8. Broncos 2026 Season Predictions
