Broncos extend contract of WR Courtland Sutton
Digest more
NFL training camp has seen major headlines this week, with extensions, roster cuts, and contract talks dominating the discourse.
After Payton arrived in Dove Valley two years ago, he brought Sutton, who’d battled injuries and inconsistency, into his office. Worried that Sutton had gotten too heavy, the coach put on some clips from No. 14’s Pro Bowl season in 2019.
Franklin-Myers is entering the final season of a four-year, $55MM deal ($30.2MM guaranteed) that he inked with the Jets back in 2022. The defensive lineman completed half of that contract in New York before he was dealt to Denver last offseason for a future sixth-round pick.
Franklin-Myers deserves an extension. The Broncos re-signed nose tackle D.J. Jones in the offseason, and drafted Sai'vion Jones in the third round, the latter of whom gives the team a viable successor to Franklin-Myers if things don't work out after this season.
