This offseason, the Denver Broncos haven’t hesitated to move on from starters, and Courtland Sutton could be next in a roster rebuild.
The Broncos have released quarterback Russell Wilson and safety Justin Simmons and traded wideout Jerry Jeudy.
Because of Jeudy’s departure, one would think that they would do their best to retain Sutton, who led the team in catches (59), receiving yards (772) and touchdowns (10) last year.
However, the 2019 Pro Bowler could price himself out of Denver as head coach Sean Payton revamps his offense.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler (h/t Zack Kelberman of Sports Illustrated), the Broncos haven’t made “real progress” on extension talks with Sutton.
However, Payton said he expects the SMU product to rejoin the team for mandatory minicamp, and the wideout confirmed that notion during an appearance on DNVR Broncos Podcast (h/t Broncos Wire’s Jon Heath).
While Payton and Sutton are on the same page to finish spring practices, Denver still needs to meet him on a middle ground in contract negotiations.
If the Broncos want to help rookie first-rounder Bo Nix, journeyman Jarrett Stidham or Zach Wilson in the passing game, they need to keep Sutton in their plans.
