The success of rookie Bo Nix hinges largely on receiver Courtland Sutton.
Green Bay Packers safety Anthony Johnson Jr. tackles Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton during the first half of a preseason NFL football game, Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024, in Denver. One of the most expensive receiver rooms you could buy has gone buh-bye. The Broncos traded Jerry Jeudy and cut Tim Patrick and K.J. Hamler over the past two training camps. Adiós, Cuatro Amigos.It is time to prove why. He has every incentive. As does the team.
A year later, the Broncos need Sutton as much as he needs them. Nix has to have someone he trusts — and Denver has zero established weapons beyond the veteran wideout. That leaves tight end Greg Dulcich & Gabbana, who would be making a heck of a fashion statement if he simply stays healthy and in uniform for 10 games.
Sutton’s motivation is twofold. He wants to be an all-time Bronco, spending his entire career in Denver. But more saliently, his contract compromise this summer demands production. He wanted a new deal — he has $2 million in guaranteed money this season and zero in 2025 — and the Broncos refused to flinch. Instead, they gave him a ladder to reach the briefcase with a $1.5 million incentive package.
Nix microwaved his chemistry with Sutton on rollouts and bootlegs. He is a big body who finds soft spots in zone coverage, especially when lined up in the slot. His instincts improved dramatically in the red zone — he had two touchdowns in his previous 26 games before delivering 10 in 2023. Russell Wilson and Jarrett Stidham posted a 120.2 quarterback rating when throwing to him with 59 completions for 772 yards.
