The Denver Broncos recently signed wide receiver Courtland Sutton to a four-year, $92 million contract extension. While Sutton will make a lofty $23 million per season, the star wideout revealed that he left some money on the table in order to help the Broncos re-sign some of their other key pieces down the road.

After reaching a contract extension with Courtland Sutton, the Broncos should follow this process with other stars.

Sutton, 29, joined the Broncos in 2018, and he endured six losing seasons to begin his career. Last year, in Payton's second season, Denver had a breakthrough and returned to the playoffs for the first time since they won the Super Bowl following the 2015 season.
