Next week’s minicamp is on the horizon, and there's a buzz around whether Courtland Sutton, the Broncos' star receiver, will show up. Sean Payton, the coach, is optimistic about it. "Yeah, I think he’ll be here," Payton remarked, expressing his anticipation. But he's also realistic, noting, "I don’t know that for sure."
Sutton's been skipping the voluntary sessions, but Payton's not sweating it. He's been singing Sutton's praises lately, brushing off concerns about the absence. When asked if it's about a contract dispute, Payton joked, "Well, it’s not that he doesn’t like the new uniforms."
However, there's a financial sting if Sutton continues to miss out. Fines loom over him for skipping the mandatory minicamp and could escalate if he's a no-show at training camp. Payton emphasized the importance of these mandatory sessions, highlighting the consequences of skipping them.
Reflecting on potential changes in the offseason structure, Payton seemed laid-back. He mentioned a proposal that could shake things up, but he's not losing sleep over it. "Is it three, four, five years from now? I don’t know," Payton pondered. "I try anymore to focus on the things that are right here."
In Payton's view, the offseason rhythm will evolve, but for now, it's about staying focused on the present. And the present includes Sutton's potential appearance at minicamp, which promises to add some excitement to the Broncos' offseason narrative.
