The Denver Broncos kicked off their mandatory minicamp today, June 11, 2024, and one of the most anticipated moments was Courtland Sutton’s post-practice interview. Sutton, the team’s standout wide receiver, provided valuable insights into his rehab process, contract situation, and his commitment to the Broncos.

Rehab Progress

Sutton began by addressing his recent absence from team activities, explaining that he was in Florida rehabbing from ankle surgery. “As you all know, I had surgery on my ankle from the last game,” Sutton said. “Linked up with the training staff here. They sent me down to Florida to look at it, and they were comfortable with it.” He emphasized that his rehab process has been going well and he’s focused on getting his ankle in top shape for the upcoming season.

Contract Discussions

The conversation naturally shifted to Sutton’s contract situation. There had been reports that he was staying away from team activities due to ongoing contract negotiations. Sutton clarified, “This is something that has been conversed about, and my team and I have been in contact with the guys upstairs. We’re at a stalemate in a sense, but I have confidence they’ll do the right thing.”

Despite the contract impasse, Sutton expressed his strong desire to remain with the Broncos. “This is home. This is where I want to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. This is the place where I want to retire,” he stated emphatically. Sutton’s loyalty to the team and his aspirations for the future were clear throughout the interview.

Looking Ahead

Sutton also touched on his goals and expectations for the upcoming season. He reflected on his previous performance, acknowledging his ten touchdowns last year but expressing his belief that he has much more to offer. “I feel like I have so much more left in myself, my body. Physically, I feel I have so much left to give,” Sutton said.

He expressed excitement about the competition at the quarterback position, noting that it will be a “really fun training camp” watching the players compete. Sutton also mentioned plans for team bonding activities in July to foster camaraderie and improve on-field chemistry.

As the Broncos continue their minicamp, all eyes will be on Sutton and his progress, both in terms of his physical recovery and the resolution of his contract situation. Broncos fans can take solace in knowing that one of their key players is determined to stay and help bring glory back to Denver but right now they are at a “stalemate.”
