According to a report from NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Denver Broncos and wide receiver Courtland Sutton have reached an agreement to restructure his contract. The restructured deal will see Sutton receive a base salary of $13 million, with the possibility of earning an additional $1.5 million in incentives.
This development comes just two days after Broncos head coach Sean Payton publicly confirmed that Sutton would be present at training camp, dispelling any speculation about his absence. The negotiations for the revamped contract have been ongoing, and it appears that both parties have found a middle ground to move forward.
In June, Sutton expressed his resolve to reach an agreement, stating, "My team and I have been in contact with the guys upstairs, trying to figure out the best way to find a middle ground for the situation." It seems those efforts have borne fruit as the Broncos organization and Sutton's representatives have ironed out the details in recent discussions.
Under the restructured deal, Sutton has the potential to earn over $15 million this season if he delivers an impressive performance on the field. While he has not reached the 1,000-yard mark since 2019, Sutton demonstrated growth in his catch percentage and touchdown totals last year, recording 59 receptions, 772 yards, and 10 touchdowns.
For Sutton to regain his peak 2019 form, he will need an increased number of targets, potentially aided by a new quarterback on the team. With the upcoming season approaching, Broncos fans will eagerly anticipate seeing Sutton back in action and his potential to thrive under the restructured contract.
The reworked deal reflects the Broncos' commitment to Sutton's role in the team, while also providing the wide receiver with an opportunity to maximize his earnings based on his performance. As the regular season inches closer, all eyes will be on Sutton as he aims to make a significant impact on the field and justify his restructured contract.
