ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos continued their stretch drive on the contract front Monday.
As the players reported back from the team's bye week, the Broncos secured wide receiver Courtland Sutton to a four-year extension worth just under $61 million, according to multiple team sources.
Sutton's deal includes $34.9 million in guarantees and will bring the fourth-year veteran $18 million in the first year of the deal, the sources said. Sutton was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent at season's end.
The 26-year-old missed all but two games in 2020 with a torn ACL and has returned to lead the Broncos in receptions (43) and receiving yards (617) this season.
