Webb, a former quarterback, spent two seasons as the Broncosโ QBs coach before being promoted to offensive pass game coordinator in 2025. His candidacy is gaining traction as one of the few remaining openings at the head coach level, with the Raiders, Cardinals and Browns still seeking their next leader.
Broncos head coach Sean Payton did not mince words when asked about the possibility of Webb leaving for Las Vegas, saying, โIt would be a pain in the ass for him.โ The comment underscores the reservations and implications within Paytonโs program if Webb were to depart.
Webb has indicated to reporters that his interactions with the Raiders have been constructive, noting his positive experience in conversations with the franchise and mentioning the impact of discussions involving Tom Brady. The Raidersโ interest remains a talking point as they navigate their coaching search.
With only three head coaching openings in play, the Raiders could well consider Webb, but uncertainty persists. There are competing reports on the teamโs best path, including speculation that Klint Kubiak could be a prime target if he finishes a Super Bowl run with Seattle, while others suggest the Raiders may pursue surprise options such as Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase.
As the Raiders weigh internal and external candidates, the process remains fluid. Dianna Russini has reported the team hasnโt settled on a final choice, contributing to a broader national dialogue about where Webb and the other candidates fit. Broncos fans and NFL observers will be watching closely as the Raidersโ decision unfolds.
