Inside the Courtland Sutton deal
The Broncos have been securing their key players to long-term contracts. One such player to get a new deal was receiver Courtland Sutton. Due to make $14 million in 2025, Sutton recently signed a four-year, $92 million extension. That's a new-money average of $23 million per year. Here's the full breakdown of the contract, per a source with knowledge of the terms: 1. Signing bonus: $18.5 million. 2. 2025 base salary: $4 million, fully guaranteed. 3. 2026 option bonus: $12 million, fully guaranteed. 4. 2026 base salary: $4.735 million, fully guaranteed. 5. 2026 per-game roster bonus: $765,000 total, fully guaranteed but must be earned. 6. 2027 base salary: $19.235 million, $1 million of which is guaranteed for injury and becomes fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the 2027 league year. 8. 2027 per-game roster bonus: $765,000 total. 9. 2028 base salary: $20.735 million. 10. 2028 per-game roster bonus: $765,000 total. 11. 2029 base salary: $23.375 million. 12. 2029 per-game roster bonus: $765,000 total. The deal has $40 million fully guaranteed at signing. The other $1 million in injury guarantees vests in 2027. It's clearly a second-tier deal. Good but not among the highest-paid of all receivers. With Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase now north of $40 million, Sutton is at $23 million in new-money APY. From signing, the five-year deal has an annual average of $21.2 million.
