Carmichael, a longtime Saints offensive coordinator before his stint with Denver, reunites with Brady, who previously worked with him in New Orleans. The pairing is expected to help streamline the offense for star quarterback Josh Allen and provide a familiar, quarterback-friendly framework as Buffalo rebuilds its staff.
Brady has also targeted an up-and-coming coach from the Arizona Cardinals, Connor Senger, as a potential quarterbacks coach. The Bills and Green Bay Packers both requested interviews with Senger, who is regarded as one of the league’s fastest-rising young coaches.
Senger, a former college quarterback who played for Wisconsin and Wisconsin-Oshkosh, has spent the last four seasons with the Cardinals as a pass game specialist. In 2025, his work with backup QB Jacoby Brissett and the Cardinals’ passing attack drew considerable attention, even as the franchise fired head coach Jonathan Gannon after the season.
Competition for Senger could be significant, with the Packers also pursuing an interview to gauge fit for their quarterbacks coach opening. Buffalo’s push to add Senger underscores Brady’s emphasis on surrounding Josh Allen with coaches capable of elevating the passing game and sustaining a competitive edge in 2026.
Overall, the Bills’ early offseason moves—appointing Carmichael as offensive coordinator and pursuing Senger for quarterbacks coach—mark a concerted effort to build a high-functioning staff around Allen. As Brady continues to shape the assistant group, more hires are expected to follow as the offseason progresses.
