The Denver Broncos went through some major changes in the offseason.
However, instead of looking to leave, one of their best players wants to stay.
That’s why WR Courtland Sutton hasn’t reported to the team’s voluntary off-season program.
According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Sutton skipped Monday’s session because he’s trying to put some pressure on the team to get a new contract.

Just yesterday, Philadelphia Eagles star DeVonta Smith signed a three-year, $75 million contract extension with $51 million fully guaranteed.
Sutton isn’t on the same tier as them, but he’s still managed to put up great production despite his subpar quarterback situation.
He’s had nine different starting quarterbacks since entering the league as a second-round pick in 2018.
As for Sutton, he hasn’t exactly played in an ideal situation for a wide receiver since Denver selected him with a second-round pick in 2018.
Even so, the SMU product has been a consistent contributor at Mile High.
He’s coming off logging 59 receptions for 772 yards and ten scores last season despite ranking No. 53 in targets around the league.
The Broncos cleaned house at the beginning of the offseason, starting with QB Russell Wilson.
They will now have either a rookie quarterback or Jarrett Stidham as their starting quarterback next season.
And while that’s not an ideal situation for any wide receiver, Sutton is still trying to make the most of his leverage to get some financial security for years to come.
