NFL Insider Suggests Blockbuster Trade Is On the Way

NFL Insider Expects A Courtland Sutton Trade Soon

Say what you will about Allbright, but you can’t deny he has a flair for the dramatic (compliment). Prior to the NFL Draft, he sneakily leaked Denver’s intention to select quarterback Bo Nix, and he appears to be doing something similar here. Albeit, this one is considerably more straightforward.

The Denver Broncos will trade Courtland Sutton, and Allbright believes he will reunite with Russell Wilson. While the quarterback’s time in Denver had more lows than highs, it’s clear that he and Sutton had some chemistry. Last year, the receiver finished with 59 receptions for 772 yards and 10 touchdowns and was outwardly frustrated when Payton released the quarterback. The Steelers need a wide receiver and Sutton is a natural pairing opposite George Pickens.

The Steelers might be the frontrunners, but several teams should be interested in a Courtland Sutton trade. Even if the one-time Pro Bowler never recaptures his 2019 magic, he’s still an above-average threat on the sideline with a knack for making plays in the endzone.

Other Potential Fits

Carolina Panthers

The Panthers traded up for wide receiver Xavier Legette, and while the South Carolina product has a high ceiling, he also has a remarkably low floor. The wideout needed four seasons in college before recording his first 20-catch season, so he might take some time to adjust to NFL life. Bryce Young can’t afford another season without help, so Carolina could trade for Courtland Sutton. With Sutton, Diontae Johnson, and Adam Thielen, Legette won’t have to start if he’s not ready.

Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals landed the closest thing to a can’t-miss prospect in Marvin Harrison Jr. However, the Ohio State product is only one man, and the team could use a reliable complementary weapon on the outside. The Cardinals hovered around .500 last year with a rusty Kyler Murray in the lineup, so imagine what they could do if they trade for Courtland Sutton and give a fully healthy Murray a complete set of offensive weapons.

Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens filled several needs during the 2024 NFL Draft and couldn’t select a wide receiver until the fourth round. While Devontez Walker has some potential, the win-now Ravens need a player who can help them in 2024. Courtland Sutton is the perfect fit for the job, and he shouldn’t cost all that much in a trade.

Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers entered the NFL Draft with the worst collection of wide receivers in the NFL. Ladd McConkey should contribute from Day 1, and seventh-round receivers Cornelius Johnson and Brenden Rice are worthwhile dart throws, but this team still needs some help. The Broncos might not want to trade Courtland Sutton to a division rival, but they could be willing to make a deal if Los Angeles gives the best offer.

Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys had a solid draft, but they didn’t add a noteworthy wide receiver until the sixth round. This means that, barring something completely unexpected, the Cowboys passing attack will be comprised of Dak Prescott targeting CeeDee Lamb at an absurd rate. Lamb is a phenomenal player, but Dallas would benefit from a Courtland Sutton trade. With two reliable receivers, this team could finally make that long-awaited deep playoff run.
