Broncos Signal Intent to Keep Courtland Sutton Beyond 2025

Denver emphasizes Sutton's importance to their offense but indicates contract talks will occur later.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton and GM George Paton have publicly reaffirmed their desire to retain wide receiver Courtland Sutton as part of the team's long-term plans.
Sutton, entering the final year of his current contract, led Denver in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns in the 2024 season, significantly contributing to rookie quarterback Bo Nix's development.
The Broncos acknowledge that Sutton would prefer not to play the 2025 season under his current deal, but substantive contract discussions are expected to take place at a later time.
Sutton's leadership and chemistry with Nix have been pivotal, with the receiver playing a key role in Nix's record-setting rookie campaign and overall growth as a team leader.
Denver's front office faces financial considerations, including potential cap savings with an extension, while balancing the possibility of pursuing other wide receiver options in free agency.
