Courtland Sutton will be in attendance at Broncos minicamp next week.
The Denver wide receiver, who has not participated in the last month-plus of voluntary workouts, confirmed as much during an appearance Thursday afternoon on the DNVR Broncos podcast.
“I will be there,” Sutton said. “It’s been killing me not to be out there and this has been a very different offseason than I’ve been a part of.”
Indeed it has been. Sutton for the first six years of his NFL career had been a regular at Denver’s voluntary offseason workouts.
Sutton has two years remaining on his contract and only $2 million of the remaining $26.5 million left is guaranteed. Though Sutton hasn’t said so explicitly, that’s clearly the reason he’s stayed away from the team for the opening offseason phases.
“Well it’s not that he doesn’t like our new uniforms,” head coach Sean Payton quipped Tuesday.
Sutton wasn’t asked Thursday about on the state of any contract talks between himself and the Broncos. Payton said Tuesday that “he and I have talked. I think that will work itself out.”
Sutton indicated Thursday that he’d been watching the film of Denver’s OTA practices so far as he’s trained on his own in Florida.
It’s an open question just how involved Sutton will be in the minicamp practices when they begin Tuesday, but if he shows up for all three days he will avoid up to $100,000 in potential fines.
