The Broncos have been securing their key players to long-term contracts. One such player to get a new deal was receiver Courtland Sutton.<\/p>\n
Due to make $14 million in 2025, Sutton recently signed a four-year, $92 million extension. That\u2019s a new-money average of $23 million per year.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the full breakdown of the contract, per a source with knowledge of the terms:<\/p>\n
1. Signing bonus: $18.5 million.<\/p>\n
2. 2025 base salary: $4 million, fully guaranteed.<\/p>\n
3. 2026 option bonus: $12 million, fully guaranteed.<\/p>\n
4. 2026 base salary: $4.735 million, fully guaranteed.<\/p>\n
5. 2026 per-game roster bonus: $765,000 total, fully guaranteed but must be earned.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
8. 2027 per-game roster bonus: $765,000 total.<\/p>\n
9. 2028 base salary: $20.735 million.<\/p>\n
10. 2028 per-game roster bonus: $765,000 total.<\/p>\n
11. 2029 base salary: $23.375 million.<\/p>\n
12. 2029 per-game roster bonus: $765,000 total.<\/p>\n
The deal has $40 million fully guaranteed at signing. The other $1 million in injury guarantees vests in 2027.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s clearly a second-tier deal. Good but not among the highest-paid of all receivers. With Bengals receiver Ja\u2019Marr Chase now north of $40 million, Sutton is at $23 million in new-money APY.<\/p>\n
From signing, the five-year deal has an annual average of $21.2 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Broncos have been securing their key players to long-term contracts.
