Mile High Report
The Broncos and Courtland Sutton have agreed to a mega contract extension.
According to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero, the Denver Broncos and Courtland Sutton have agreed to terms on a four-year, $92 million dollar extension. Head Coach Sean Payton told reporters that something could be done soon after practice today, and now the two sides have agreed to a monster extension.
According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis, Courtland Sutton is receiving $41 million dollars in guaranteed money in his new deal. He was set to receive $14 million in guaranteed money this year, so he’s receiving an additional $27 million in guaranteed money in his new deal.
Injuries have derailed Sutton’s career with the Broncos. However, all that changed when Sean Payton was hired as the new Head Coach. Since being hired, Sutton’s numbers and production have skyrocketed, and he has gone from being viewed as a disappointment/trade candidate to one of the better touchdown-producing weapons in the NFL.
Over the past two seasons, Sutton has totaled 140 receptions for 1,853 yards and 18 touchdown receptions. Mixed in these 140 receptions are multiple highlight reel catches, big plays, and game-changing and game-winning receptions. Now, he will move forward with quarterback Bo Nix and give the Broncos offense a proven and established number one receiver to build around.
The Broncos’ wide receiver room is suddenly very deep. They have Marvin Mims Jr. coming off a second-half breakout, Devaughn Vele coming off a productive rookie year, the explosive Troy Franklin is having a breakout offseason thus far, and rookie Pat Bryant has been impressing early in camp.
Sutton will now have a chance to finish his career as a member of the Denver Broncos.
