There have been Courtland Sutton rumors all offseason for the Denver Broncos, with the hope of signing him to a new deal.
However, the Broncos and Sutton haven't reached a deal, which could be a bit concerning for a team that wants to keep all its talent together.
Despite the contract situation, however, some believe that him showing up to the team's first workout of the new season on Monday was a good sign, adding that he skipped the voluntary offseason program a year ago with an unresolved contract.
“Courtland Sutton was among those in attendance Monday at the team’s first workout of the new season,” 9News Denver’s Mike Klis wrote. “The Broncos’ top receiver stayed in Florida and skipped the voluntary offseason program last year to protest his contract that had two years and $27.5 million left on his deal. He’s actually in a more tenuous contract situation this year — one year and $14 million — but there is now much more kumbaya between the parties.”
Why are all these situations different?
This year is the one that should make Sutton more upset. However, he’s said all the right things so far to reporters, noting multiple times that he wants to stay in Denver, and he's just hopeful to get a deal done in the near future.
29 years old, the Texas native is coming off a 1081-yard and eight-touchdown season.
He's had 18 touchdowns over the past two seasons, and has given Bo Nix a legit target to throw the football to.
The Broncos should look to keep that around.
