Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton said this offseason that he was optimistic that talks with the team would result in a new contract and it looks like an agreement may be imminent.
Head coach Sean Payton told reporters at a Monday press conference that the Broncos and Sutton are close to reaching a deal. Sutton has been practicing in camp, but has not been doing team drills as the two sides try to hammer out a contract.
Sutton is currently set to make $14.1 million in the final year of a four-year contract extension he signed in 2021.
Sutton had a career-best 81 catches last season and turned them into 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns to help the Broncos get to the playoffs for the first time since Super Bowl 50.
