Broncos' Sean Payton Provides Key Update on Courtland Sutton Extension

However, Payton noted that Sutton is expected to participate in the start of offseason workouts, signaling that both sides are open to working toward a resolution. Still, the lack of a set timeline for an extension remains a situation to monitor.

Sutton, 29, is set to enter his eighth NFL season in 2025. He has spent his entire career in Denver and is coming off his best season since making the Pro Bowl in 2019.

In his first season with Bo Nix, Sutton had career highs in targets and receptions, with 135 targets and 81 receptions. Sutton also had the second most yards and touchdowns in a season in 2024, with 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns.

With Sutton's current contract extension ending after the 2025 season, the Broncos must decide soon. Sutton and Nix were a great duo, and keeping them together should be a priority as Nix continues to develop.

If a contract extension isn't worked out, he would be a huge loss. The Broncos don't have a strong wide receiver group behind him, and they would be in dire need of wide receiver help if he leaves.

The update from Payton is slightly concerning. While Sutton is showing up to the offseason workouts, the two sides don't have a timeline for a deal. While there is still time for a new deal to be worked out, time is slowly running out.
