Overview

• Courtland Sutton enters the final season of his four-year, $60.8 million extension with no guaranteed money and a $13.5 million base salary.
• He posted career highs with 81 receptions for 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024, bolstering his case for a deal north of $25 million per year.
• The Broncos have designated All-Pros Nik Bonitto and Zach Allen as higher extension priorities, putting additional pressure on their cap space.
• Sutton attended every voluntary offseason workout in 2025 as a show of good faith, but formal contract talks between his camp and Denver have yet to begin.
• Second-year receiver Devaughn Vele impressed in spring workouts after catching 41 passes for 475 yards as a rookie and has emerged as a potential long-term replacement.
