Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton continues to climb the team’s all-time wide receiver list.
Following his eight-catch, 97-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Sutton became the fifth player in franchise history to have at least 50 receptions and 700 receiving yards in five separate seasons. . Sutton also surpassed 5,000 career receiving yards in 93 games, making him the third-fastest Bronco to reach that milestone.
Sutton’s 355 career receptions rank ninth on the team’s all-time list and his 5,003 receiving yards rank 11th. He needs 358 yards over the final five games to pass Emmanuel Sanders for 10th place on Denver’s all-time list.
Sutton’s productive season could pay off after Broncos added $1.5 million in incentives to his contract this summer.
Sutton’s contract includes $500,000 incentive for 500 receiving yards + Denver scoring more points than in 2023, according to Mike Klis of KUSA-TV. He’s already surpassed 500 yards — now the offense needs to average over 21.0 points per game (it’s currently at 22.0).
There’s another $500,000 incentive for 750 receiving yards and the team’s scoring improves. Sutton is just six yards short of that total.
Finally, Sutton could receive an additional $500,000 if he reaches 1,065 receiving yards. He is currently on pace for a 1,054-yard season. If it’s close to the team’s regular season finale, Sutton will likely have an opportunity to reach that mark.
Suton ranks 13th in receptions (57), ninth in receiving yards (744) and 13th in touchdowns (five) in the NFL this season. He is making a case for the Pro Bowl in his seventh season with the Broncos.
