Denver Broncos passing game coordinator Davis Webb is withdrawing from consideration for the Las Vegas Raiders head coaching job, per @AdamSchefter of ESPN. The decision marks a significant shift in the Raiders' search for a new head coach as the hiring cycle continues.
Webb has been a highly sought-after candidate during this offseason, having interviewed for head coaching vacancies with the Raiders, Buffalo Bills, and Baltimore Ravens. Despite his involvement in multiple interview processes across the league, he has opted to remove himself from the running for the position in Las Vegas.
The 29-year-old coach joined the Broncos staff under Sean Payton following a career as an NFL quarterback with the New York Giants, New York Jets, and Buffalo Bills. His rapid rise through the coaching ranks led to several organizations showing interest in him for leadership roles this winter. The Raiders will now move forward with their remaining candidates as they look to finalize their coaching staff for the upcoming season.
