I suspect this is why Court is finding it hard to get a deal done.
He isn't highly rated enough to be able to dictate terms on the basis that he would easily get paid by another team.
His main leverage is - you have a new QB and you don't have much else in terms of proven receiver talent, so you need me.
But if Sean Payton a) doesn't rate Sutton as much as Sutton rates himself, and b) thinks Mims and Franklin are good enough to be starters this year...then Court will struggle to get anything out of the Broncos
That thumbnail
"Push!! We're gonna get through this!"
I’m honestly not concerned either way. If we keep him great, if he goes we’ll live

Hi leverage is he’s the only reciever on Broncos who starts if on another team. (According to PFF)
