During the initial phase of this offseason’s free agency, the Denver Broncos have taken a different approach by focusing more on selling off assets rather than splurging on new talent. The releases of Russell Wilson and Justin Simmons, along with Jerry Jeudy being traded to the Cleveland Browns, mark the beginning of a fresh era for the team.
Despite these significant changes, it doesn’t necessarily indicate a complete overhaul for the Broncos in 2024. There’s a possibility of seeing familiar faces like WR Courtland Sutton back in the blue and orange for the upcoming season. Recent reports from NFL insider Zack Rosenblatt suggest that the Broncos are not actively shopping Sutton, especially after parting ways with Jerry Jeudy.
Speculation arose when Sutton removed mentions of the Broncos from his social media, but it appears Denver intends to keep him, particularly considering the potential importance of his contribution to the offense, especially with a new quarterback likely taking the reins next season. Sutton’s reliability as a target could be crucial for the development of a rookie quarterback, as history has shown the significance of surrounding young QBs with dependable weapons.
While there might be financial gains from releasing Sutton, his impact on the offensive side might outweigh the benefits of parting ways with him. It seems the Broncos are keen on avoiding the pitfalls experienced by teams that fail to provide ample support to their young quarterbacks.
As free agency progresses and the NFL Draft approaches, observers should monitor how the Broncos’ front office enhances the offensive unit. Nonetheless, it appears Sutton is poised to remain a stable presence as the 2024 season approaches.
