Broncos large receiver Courtland Sutton was amongst a couple of gamers who have been a no-show to voluntary exercises this week as he is hoping to get a contract extension this offseason.
Basic supervisor George Paton does not appear too fearful about his No. 1 large receiver’s holdout to start the offseason.
“It is one hundred pc voluntary,” Paton stated through Gabriel Parker of the Denver Publish. “It is the primary week of the offseason program. Sean [Payton] has talked to Courtland. I’ve talked to Courtland. He is in a great place and we’ll simply depart it at that.”
Since deciding to not take part in Denver’s voluntary offseason program, Sutton has been the topic of a number of commerce rumors, and rightfully so. He has two years left on his four-year, $60 million contract, however solely $2 million is assured.
Plus, the Broncos appear to be getting into a rebuild after reducing QB Russell Wilson and buying and selling WR Jerry Jeudy to the Browns earlier this offseason.
Sutton, who will flip 29 this season, is unlikely to be a part of the group when it is aggressive once more, which is why many consider it could be sensible of Denver to get no matter it could actually for him.
Nonetheless, the group does not have a lot large receiver expertise exterior Sutton. Josh Reynolds, who simply joined the group in free company, Marvin Mims Jr., a second-round decide in 2023, and Tim Patrick, who tore his Achilles final 12 months, spotlight the room.
If the Broncos plan to draft a quarterback within the 2024 NFL Draft subsequent week, they should encompass the rookie with at the least some expertise.
Denver is clearly in a troublesome spot and will not even know what it desires to do but. Paton did not reveal whether or not the group was negotiating with Sutton.
Paton appeared to stifle commerce hypothesis round Sutton, however he did not fully rule out the potential of it occurring.
Sutton had 59 catches for 772 yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns final season.
