The Broncos and Courtland Sutton are nearing an agreement on a new contract.
Head coach Sean Payton said just that Monday, noting that the club and the eighth-year wide receiver are “real close” on finding agreement in contract talks.
“He’s got limited reps and I think we’re close — I’m not going to speak ahead of it, but I think we’re real close on a contract,” Payton told reporters after Denver’s first fully padded practice of training camp. “I think our goal, when he and I met and (general manager George Paton) all along, was this coming Monday.
“I think there will be something fairly soon there.”
Sutton, 29, is entering the final year of a four-year extension he signed in 2021. Over the Broncos’ practices Saturday and Monday, Sutton participated in individual work and early practice walk-throughs but did not take any repetitions in full-speed, 11-on-11 work.
That, it turns out, is not because he’s holding in or protesting his contract status.
In fact, since he took some team reps on Friday, his representatives and the Broncos have made progress in contract talks and that the conversations are currently in a good place, multiple sources told The Post.

Now, the Broncos are his team. And it shows, on and off field.Sutton has expressed confidence he’d get a contract extension since the spring. Back in April he said he thought the conversations were headed in a positive direction. That alone represented a tone shift from a year ago, when Sutton skipped the voluntary portion of the Broncos’ offseason schedule and eventually settled for adding $1.7 million in earnable incentives to his 2024 deal.
Sutton cashed in $1.5 million of those incentives by putting together perhaps his best season as a professional. The 2018 second-round draft pick quickly became the go-to target for then-rookie quarterback Bo Nix.
He caught 81 passes on 135 targets for 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns and helped the Broncos to their first playoff berth of his tenure here.
