Sutton has since put together back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. In 2024 he caught 81 passes for 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns in 17 games, and in 2025 he had 74 catches for 1,017 yards and seven touchdowns and earned his second Pro Bowl selection.

Comparing Courtland Sutton to Other Top Wide Receivers

Sutton’s $23 million average salary sits well below the top of the receiver market. Justin Jefferson is paid $35 million a year on his $140 million Minnesota extension, and Tee Higgins re-signed with Cincinnati in March 2025 for four years and $115 million, about $28.75 million a year. Tyreek Hill, once the league’s highest-paid receiver, was still an unsigned free agent in mid-September 2026 after Miami released him in February.

What Denver gets for that price is reliability at 30: 2,098 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns across 2024 and 2025, without missing a game.

Courtland Sutton Net Worth and Salary

Courtland Sutton’s net worth is roughly $35 million to $45 million in September 2026. No major outlet publishes a sourced figure, so this estimate is built from his documented pay. Spotrac puts his career earnings at $77,727,862 through 2025 and Over The Cap at $77,682,527. Federal and Colorado income tax, agent fees and union dues typically take 40-50% of that, which leaves about $39-47 million in take-home pay; living costs reduce it, and part of his $17.5 million in 2026 cash adds to it. The $10 million and $15 million figures this page previously carried were never attributed to a source and predate both his 2024 restructure and his 2025 extension.

2018	$3,535,948	Rookie deal (2nd round, 40th overall)
2019	$790,997	Rookie deal
2020	$1,101,994	Rookie deal (torn ACL)

2022	$12,000,000	2021 extension
2023	$14,570,588	2021 extension
2024	$15,000,000	Renegotiated and restructured deal
2025	$22,500,000	4-year, $92 million extension ($18.5 million signing bonus)
Total through 2025	$77,682,527	Pre-tax, per Over The Cap (Spotrac: $77,727,862)
2026	$17,507,820	Due this season, including a $12 million option bonus (Spotrac)

On November 22, 2021, Sutton signed a four-year, $60.8 million extension with a $6 million signing bonus and $34.9 million in guarantees. Denver renegotiated that deal in July 2024 and, that September, converted $11.79 million of his 2024 salary into a signing bonus to clear cap space, per Spotrac.

On July 28, 2025, he signed a four-year, $92 million extension that runs through 2029 and averages $23 million a year. It includes an $18.5 million signing bonus, $40 million guaranteed at signing and $41 million in total guarantees. None of his salary after 2026 is fully guaranteed yet, so Denver could release him after this season with $25.45 million in dead money, per Spotrac.
