Wide receiver Courtland Sutton has remained in Denver despite the Broncos’ recent incompetence, and he is hoping to be compensated for his devotion to the team.
As he looks for a new contract, Sutton did not show up for the Broncos’ voluntary workouts on Monday, according to Tom Pelissiero of NFL Media.

Although Sutton undoubtedly deserves more, the Broncos are struggling financially as a result of Russell Wilson’s release in March. Denver is ranked 15th in the league in terms of cap room, with an estimated $18.057M.
