Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has not been a full participant in training camp practices this week as he and the team continue working toward a contract extension. Coach Sean Payton said Monday that the two sides made progress and a deal could be finalized soon.
“He’s gotten limited reps, and I think we’re close,” Payton said. “I’m not going to speak ahead of it, but we’re real close on a contract. I think our goal, when he and I met George (Paton) all along was this coming Monday. So I think there’ll be something fairly soon there.”
Sutton, 29, enters the final year of the four-year, $60.8 million extension he signed in November 2021. He carries a $20.2 million cap hit for the 2025 season, according to Spotrac.
The veteran wideout caught a career-high 81 passes last season for 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns — both the second-highest totals of his career. It marked his first 1,000-yard season since 2019, his second year in the league.
Sutton skipped voluntary workouts last offseason while he sought a new deal, which ultimately failed to materialize. However, the Broncos added $1.5 million in performance-based incentives to his contract — all of which Sutton earned.
Now entering his eighth NFL season, Sutton totaled 379 receptions for 5,340 yards and 32 touchdowns. Denver selected him in the second round with the No. 40 overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft out of SMU.
