After a sluggish pair of opening possessions, coach Sean Payton kept the starters on the field for a third series. It paid off when Nix dropped the pass over the coverage to his veteran target in the end zone.

Earlier this month, Courtland Sutton signed a four-year, $92 million extension that secures his place in Denver through the 2028 season. This window covers Bo Nix’s rookie contract if the Broncos pick up his fifth-year option.

The two were highly productive last fall, combining for 81 completions, 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns. Sutton’s receptions marked a career high and the chemistry established Nix as Denver’s long-term answer at quarterback.

Sutton expressed his belief in the young passer. Speaking earlier in camp, he praised Nix’s poise and leadership.

“Bo is my guy," Sutton said, according to USA Today.
"I think I’ve said that since we picked him up last year. Being able to have the conversations that I’ve had with him throughout the offseason and so far throughout training camp, the dude’s mindset, he was already light years ahead of where anybody expected a rookie quarterback to be last year."

The pair stood out during recent joint practices against Arizona, where Bo Nix repeatedly looked to Sutton in red-zone drills. Sean Payton pointed to Sutton’s presence as a stabilizing force for the offense and a standard-setter for Denver’s young receivers.
