Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton, pass rusher Nik Bonitto and defensive linemen Zach Allen and John Franklin-Myers are among the team's players scheduled to become unrestricted free agents in 2026. All four are worthy of contract extensions, but coach Sean Payton was unwilling to give much of an update on that topic.

But there’s no unapproved PTO in Denver. Courtland Sutton, Bonitto, Franklin-Myers and Zach Allen — the Broncos’ core four angling for extensions this offseason — were all present and active at camp Wednesday, even as Sutton took limited reps.

In putting together an appropriate contract extension for Nik Bonitto, the Denver Broncos could take inspiration from one of their rivals.
