Broncos’ Courtland Sutton doesn’t rule out a training camp holdout amid stalled contract talks, per report

Courtland Sutton has mostly downplayed ongoing contract talks with the Denver Broncos this offseason. The veteran wide receiver could soon ramp up efforts to receive a pay raise, however, admitting recently that he may hold out of 2024 training camp absent a new or restructured deal, as The Athletic notes.

“We’ll see,” Sutton said when asked if he’d skip camp amid an apparent “stalemate” in contract negotiations.

The 28-year-old former Pro Bowler was a full participant at the Broncos’ mandatory minicamp in June, but he revealed at the time he was still seeking a resolution to contract matters.

“I’m hoping that we’re able to find a solution … because this is where I want to be and I’m just hoping that it’s mutual,” Sutton told reporters. “This is home. This is where I want to go hoist the Lombardi Trophy. This is the place where I want to be able to retire. This is the place where I want to hopefully be able to … have a bid at the Broncos Ring of [Fame]. Those are all things that have to be earned, and hopefully I’m able to have the time to … showcase that I’m capable of being in that caliber of [players].”

Sutton trained away from the team during voluntary spring workouts, per The Athletic, while recovering from offseason ankle surgery. He is technically signed through 2025 on a four-year, $60 million extension, but only $2 million of the remainder of the deal is guaranteed, per Over the Cap.
