Broncos’ Sean Payton expects WR Courtland Sutton to participate in training camp despite contract stalemate

Sean Payton doesn’t expect Courtland Sutton to stage a holdout during training camp, as the veteran wide receiver seeks a new deal.

Payton said Tuesday that he hasn’t had any conversations with Sutton regarding his contract situation, but he expects the 30-year-old to practice.

“And there won’t be any (conversations),” Payton said. “He’ll be here, like we talked about, and he’ll be ready to go.”

Last month, Sutton didn’t confirm whether he would participate in training camp, stating that he and the organization were at a stalemate in terms of negotiations. Sutton will be an unrestricted free agent in 2026. He has a cap hit of $17.3 million in 2024 and $17.8 million in 2025. However, he doesn’t have any guaranteed money outside of the $2 million for this season, according to Over the Cap.

Sutton, who didn’t participate in OTAs due to rehabbing from offseason ankle surgery, said he entertained the idea of skipping mandatory minicamp but decided to show up because he wanted to practice with his teammates.

Despite both sides not finding a middle ground in contract talks, Sutton has expressed his desire to be a part of Denver’s long-term plans and believes the situation will sort itself out.

“I have confidence and faith that the right thing will be done,” Sutton said.
