Sean Payton is turning to a familiar face to help get more out of the Broncos’ wide receivers room.
Payton is hiring Ronald Curry, 46, to coach wide receivers, sources confirmed to The Post. The two have an extensive history.Curry worked as New Orleans’ wide receivers coach from 2018-20 under Payton and then served as the Saints’ quarterbacks coach for Payton’s last year with the club in 2021. He then spent two more years in New Orleans before becoming Josh Allen’s quarterbacks coach in Buffalo for the past two seasons.
In those years, Allen has played some of his best football, including an MVP year in 2024.
Earlier this offseason, Curry interviewed for Denver’s offensive coordinator job, which ultimately went to Davis Webb.
Now he’s returning to Payton’s staff to coach receivers again, this time in Denver.
Payton fired receivers coach Keary Colbert after the season and, though he hasn’t spoken with reporters since that move was made, he outlined disappointment with the manner in which the Broncos’ pass-catchers played during the 2025 season.

The thing with the draft, man, we’ve invested, and I like the players in that room. We’ve got different (skill sets). We have speed, we have size, we have all the things I’m used to and that you’d want to have in a good offense.
“But I think that there’s a proper way to catch a football and most of the time, it’s with your thumbs together. Not the other way around.”
Among the other contenders who drew consideration for the job, a source with knowledge of the situation said, was Broncos offensive quality control coach Favian Upshaw, a young coach whom Payton and Denver are high on.
Payton also appears likely to find a place on his staff for John Morton, who served in 2023-24 as passing game coordinator before leaving to be Detroit’s offensive coordinator last year. He was fired in January and then did some consulting work with the Broncos during their postseason run.
