Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton said that trade rumors surrounding Courtland Sutton were “insignificant” following reports that the wide receiver was involved in a recent deal proposed by the San Francisco 49ers.

ESPN reported that San Francisco had offered Denver a third-round pick to acquire Sutton, who in July agreed to a restructured contract with the Broncos worth up to $15.2 million this season.

“I’m going to say in the last three months, there have been multiple teams call about Courtland,” Payton told reporters Monday. “… It’s a little bit of a stretch relative to the specifics. I read the same thing you read, and I would say we didn’t get nearly as far down the road as what may have been reported.

“… For me to comment on every call that comes in to (general manager) George (Paton) or myself would be ludicrous.”

Sutton has been a trade target in recent years. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Rams showed interest earlier this year after Denver rejected an offer from the Baltimore Ravens during the 2023 offseason.

Sutton, 28, has 298 receptions for 4,259 yards and 24 touchdowns over six NFL seasons, all with the Broncos. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2019 and had a career-high 10 TD catches last season.
