The Denver Broncos have converted $10.5 million of wide receiver Courtland Sutton’s contract into a signing bonus, ESPN’s Field Yates reported Sunday morning. - Sutton will ultimately be paid the same amount, but Denver will get some salary cap relief this season. The Broncos created an additional $7.875 million in 2020 cap space by restructuring Sutton’s contract. - This marks the second cap-related restructure Denver has done this weekend. On Friday, the Broncos converted part of receiver Tim Patrick’s contract into a signing bonus, creating $4.6 million in extra cap space. - More moves might be on the way for Denver — general manager George Paton indicated during a press conference Friday that the Broncos would like to add at least one more cornerback to the roster. - Paton also confirmed that Denver is trying to re-sign cornerback Bryce Callahan and safety Kareem Jackson (the Broncos are also bringing in safety J.R. Reed for a visit, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis). - It remains to be seen if Denver will use any of the extra cap space to make a splash move. Many Broncos fans would undoubtedly like to see the team sign right tackle La’el Collins, who was released by the Dallas Cowboys last week. - Even if Denver doesn’t make any more splash moves, though, fans should at least expect a few more budget transactions in the coming days. - Follow the Broncos Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - Gallery - These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans - - - - - - view 24 images - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Broncos Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Broncos Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
