It’s safe to assume that this offseason, Courtland Sutton of the Denver Broncos hasn’t received a lot of good news. Sutton is “holding out” of optional OTAs to demonstrate his dissatisfaction with his present contract status, as he has made obvious.
Sutton has been remaining in shape for the season while working out in Florida while he has been away from the team facility. Meanwhile, the Broncos have been breaking in their first-round quarterback, Bo Nix.
Aside from the team losing several other important leaders in the summer, Sutton’s story this offseason has included “cryptic” remarks on social media, a contract dispute, and absences from optional OTAs.
Having said that, the Broncos have stated unequivocally that they have no plans to trade Sutton, and at best, the communication from both parties has been unclear.
Will the Broncos accede to Sutton’s demands about his contract? Is he even interested in living in Denver? Is it possible that he will wear orange and blue for the upcoming season? Now that the writing is on the wall, will they have to accept less in a trade? Is Bo Nix losing out on opportunities to get to know Sutton better? Does the team have any concerns about it?
Regardless of how you feel about Sutton’s circumstances, the team’s decision to debut new uniforms without Sutton was one of the biggest disappointments of the whole summer. It caught everyone’s attention that a player who has been so vital to this squad lately wasn’t a part of something so significant. Especially, Sutton’s absence from it said volumes.
Furthermore, a picture truly does speak a thousand words.
The Broncos just released a bombshell of a photo, which included a crucial feature that you might have missed at first look. I’m positive that I did.
Sutton has been discussing the Broncos in the present tense on social media. The squad has posted a picture of itself in their new uniforms on social media, featuring him. Furthermore, head coach Sean Payton has repeatedly stated that he has been in communication with Sutton and is not concerned about his circumstances in the slightest.
