Courtland Sutton can earn another $500,000

When the Denver Broncos reworked wide receiver Courtland Sutton’s contract this offseason, they added incentives that gave him a chance to earn an additional $1.5 million in 2024.

Sutton has already achieved two of the incentives and has raised an additional $1 million this season. He now has a chance to earn the third and final bonus in the team’s regular season finale on Sunday.

Sutton’s contract calls for an additional $500,000 if he receives a total of 1,065 yards. Entering Week 18, Sutton has 983 receiving yards in 16 games. He is just 17 yards away from a 1,000-yard season and 82 yards away from reaching his 1,065-yard goal for a major bonus.

Elsewhere on the incentive front, Denver safety Brandon Jones received a $1 million playing time bonus this season, and fellow defensive lineman PJ Locke earned an additional $500,000. Broncos defensive lineman Malcolm Roach is on track to earn a $250,000 bonus for playing 40% of the team’s defensive snaps.

Denver linebacker Cody Barton earned $1.25 million through playing time incentives and could earn another $250,000 with an interception against the Kansas City Chiefs. Broncos tight end Adam Trautman is 12 catches away from a $125,000 bonus.

All eyes will be on Sutton and Barton on Sunday. The receiver needs 82 yards for a big payday and Barton needs an interception.
