Courtland Sutton has stayed away from the optional portion of the Denver Broncos’ offseason program due to contract negotiations with the team, but the wide receiver is set to make his triumphant return to practice.
Next week, when the Broncos begin mandatory minicamp, rookie quarterback Bo Nix will have his first opportunity to interact with Sutton.
“I will be there,” Sutton remarked on the DNVR podcast. “A little tidbit: it’s been killing me not to be able to attend OTAs. This offseason has been unlike any other I’ve had in the NBA.”
Sutton is hoping for a raise and long-term stability, since his contract with the Broncos could expire this season.
Courtland Sutton’s value to Denver Br
Despite drastically uneven quarterback play during the 2023 season, the 28-year-old had one of his most productive seasons yet, catching 59 passes for 772 yards and setting a career high with ten touchdown grabs.
Sutton has caught 298 receptions for 4,259 yards and 24 touchdowns throughout his first six seasons, highlighting his worth in a Broncos offence that will now be missing Jerry Jeudy, who was dealt to the Cleveland Browns earlier this offseason.
It remains to be seen whether the Broncos would sign Sutton to a contract that would place him among the best receivers in the league during a market explosion, but it sure sounds like Denver’s top wideout will be back in the fold starting next week with required workouts.
