Speaking of terms and conditions, Sarah, the Broncos have Cortland Sutton on two years left on his deal here in 2024.
And then obviously next season. And Cortland wants a brand new contract coming off of a 10 touchdown season. And it was reported by NFL Network's Tom Pellicero early on Tuesday morning that he will not report to the team's offseason program unless he gets a new contract. There's a lot we got to break down here. Like, obviously, this is a big development for the Broncos. Just a week, week and a half away from the NFL draft. A lot of questions surrounding. I mean, even before free agency began, you and I did some conversations here on the show talking about, is Cortland even going to be on the team by the time the NFL draft comes around? So many angles we can approach this from. But obviously, the biggest news of the day here, Cortland wants a new extension.
Yeah. And Tom Pellicero of NFL Network reporting, obviously, his absence from voluntary OTAs, which isn't abnormal this time of year for certain players. But certainly the the caveat that it is about the contract is noteworthy. And the timeliness of that is not coincidental. Like you said, the NFL draft is looming and getting closer and closer by the minute here or so. I don't know, Cody, you see some of these receivers out there getting big money deals. Calvin Ridley got a lot of money from the Tennessee Titans. Jerry Judy, you know, Cortland Sutton's probably been talking to Jerry after he got that big money deal from the Cleveland Browns. And he might be thinking, shoot, I mean, I just had 10 touchdown catches last year and it's a career year for me.
You and I have both said it like last year was probably the best year of Cortland Sutton's NFL career to this point. And so To his point, and for his case right now, he's got two years left on a contract, only $2 million in guaranteed money left. And he's probably thinking to himself, man, in this current market, the way wide receivers are getting paid out there, Gabe Davis, I think, getting over $13 million a year or something like that as well from the Jaguars. Corlin is thinking to himself, I better get into this market as quickly as I can because he turns 29 this coming October. The clock is ticking and you want to get as much money as you possibly can, maximize your value when you can. And Corlin Sutton seems to be doing just that.
Well, and on top of that, too, you look at the salary cap. I believe it counts for $17.3 million this year against Denver's cap. I think that goes up to $17.8 million next year. There's going to be some pros and cons that we'll weigh a little bit on later on, you know, today's episode of Lockdown Broncos, about whether you extend him, whether you look to trade him.
