Contract Talks With Courtland Sutton "Moving In The Right Direction"

Tuesday, April 15, 1:20 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton said over the weekend that he thinks his representation and the team are "moving in the right direction" regarding a long-term contract extension this offseason. "I'm open and optimistic about the fact that I'll be able to be here for the rest of my career," Sutton said. Last year, both sides were in a stalemate in terms of an extension, and Sutton skipped all of the team's voluntary offseason program as a result. Eventually, Denver added incentives to the 29-year-old's contract to appease him. It paid off, as he caught 81 passes for 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns as rookie quarterback Bo Nix's go-to target. Sutton is entering the final year of a four-year, $60.1 million extension he signed in November of 2021. He's excited about where he and Nix can go from here after making the postseason last year. After his big season, Sutton will be drafted as at least a low-end WR1.

George Pickens Expected to be Moved Around in Formations

Wednesday, July 23, 6:22 AM

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that wide receiver George Pickens' ability to track a deep ball is uncanny and will be utilized in various formations. "He's been great with the ability to move him around," said Schottenheimer. "To maximize him, he can't play just one spot, can't play just the X spot. We are going to move him around, as CeeDee Lamb and he need to be interchangeable." Pickens has looked explosive in camp and has even lined up on the same side as Lamb in some formations. "When he's not doubled, he's really open, Schottenheimer added. The Cowboys traded a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder to the Steelers to acquire Pickens this offseason. The 24-year-old caught 59 passes for 900 yards and three touchdowns for the Steelers last season. Pickens is currently WR30 in the latest RotoBaller rankings, but that rank could rise if he continues to have an impressive camp.
