On Monday, Bonitto was lounging an arm over a bench when the news of the day was broken to him. Teammate Courtland Sutton, the Denver lifer, had agreed to terms on a four-year extension. The first in a logjam of Broncos who need new deals, including Bonitto himself, just got one.

The Denver Broncos ensured that No. 1 wide receiver Courtland Sutton would want to continue catching passes thrown by second-year quarterback Bo Nix when Denver locked Sutton down via a four-year, $92M contract extension early into training camp.

Perhaps Courtland Sutton will end up equaling or exceeding that. Sutton on Monday signed a four-year, $92 million contract extension and Tuesday talked about wanting to continue to establish a “legacy” with the Broncos.
