Courtland Sutton attended Broncos’ training camp in anticipation of a new financial arrangement being worked out. That has now taken place, with the Pro Bowl wideout agreeing to new money being added to his pact.
Sutton has received $1.5M in additional incentives, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. He can now earn up to $15.2M over the course of the 2024 campaign. The 28-year-old remains under contract through 2025, but this agreement will not change his scheduled earnings for next year. Sutton was originally due $2M guaranteed over the remainder of his pact, which drove his efforts to land a new deal.
The former second-rounder skipped voluntary OTAs while seeking added compensation. Sutton was due a $13M base salary in 2024 prior to the new agreement, one which 9News’ Mike Klis confirms does not lock in a larger portion of his earnings in addition to the incentives being added on. He took part in mandatory minicamp, a move which avoided fines being accumulated. The same held true of training camp attendance.
Sutton signed a four-year, $60M extension in 2021, a period before numerous shifts took place in the receiver market. The top of the positions’ pecking order has surged to $35M per season, a mark Sutton did not realistically have a chance of approaching. Still, the SMU product will be able to increase his earning potential in 2024 as he looks to duplicate his strong campaign from last year. Sutton recorded a career-high 10 touchdowns in 2023, and he is positioned to remain Denver’s top receiver moving forward.
The Broncos traded away Jerry Jeudy this offseason, dealing the former first-rounder the Browns. Denver still has Tim Patrick in the fold, and he will contribute starting production if he can remain healthy. Sutton represents the most experienced (six-year veteran) and productive (298 career receptions, 4,259 yards) option at the WR spot as the team spends the coming weeks determining its starting quarterback.
Sutton’s deal does not contain any guaranteed salary for the 2025 season, so the move could need to be repeated next offseason. Much of his bargaining power will, of course, depend on his production during Year 2 of head coach Sean Payton‘s tenure guiding the offense. With an upgraded deal in place, Sutton can now turn his attention to training camp and preparations for his seventh campaign in the Mile High City.
