Bolles Expresses Commitment to Broncos Amid Contract Talks

Denver Broncos offensive tackle Garett Bolles reaffirmed his desire to remain with the team for the long term as training camp commenced. Bolles, who is entering the final year of a four-year, $68 million contract, emphasized his commitment, stating, “They know I want to be a Bronco for life.” He is set to earn $16 million this season and feels physically prepared, claiming to be the strongest and fastest he has ever been. While Bolles focuses on his performance, the Broncos are navigating contract negotiations with other players. Recently, the team added $1.5 million in incentives to wide receiver Courtland Sutton’s base salary of $13 million. Sutton, who had a standout season with 10 touchdown catches, had previously expressed dissatisfaction with his contract and considered holding out during the offseason, despite the risk of fines. The Broncos are also preparing for significant contract discussions regarding cornerback Patrick Surtain, who is expected to secure a deal that would make him the highest-paid player at his position in the NFL. Surtain indicated that both parties have shown interest in a long-term agreement, stating, “They’ve made it pretty clear that they want me to be a part of the team.” As the season approaches, Bolles remains focused on his role and contributing to the team's success, while the Broncos manage the complexities of player contracts and expectations.
