INDIANAPOLIS >> There is no longer ambiguity about Courtland Sutton.

The Broncos are open on how they feel about their top receiver: They want him around, and they plan to talk to his agent about a contract extension at the NFL combine.

“Courtland is one of our guys. Team captain. I have said this for a couple of years in a row. We want him here. We will have those discussions at the right time,” general manager George Paton said Tuesday. “We will meet with his agent here.”

Sutton is entering the final season of a four-year, $60.8 million deal. He is scheduled to make $13.5 million in base salary next season with no guaranteed money remaining.

After Sutton elected to miss voluntary offseason workouts last spring, the Broncos revised his contract before training camp by adding incentives. He cashed in on an extra $1.5 million after catching a career-high 81 passes for a team-best 1,081 yards and eight touchdowns.

The Broncos played the waiting game with left tackle Garett Bolles last season before agreeing on a contract extension. Sutton, the second-longest tenured Bronco to Bolles, could ask for $20-plus million annually after posting 18 touchdowns the past two years. A possible comp is Tennessee’s Calvin Ridley, 30, who received a four-year, $92 million deal with $50 million guaranteed from the Titans last offseason, though he had the leverage of free agency.

Sutton turns 30 in October, but coach Sean Payton believes he has multiple good seasons left after emerging as Bo Nix’s favorite third-down target. Sutton is also respected by management and teammates for his leadership. He helped mentor rookie receivers Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele.

“We felt like he had a really good season. He is important to what we are doing,” Payton said. “All of those (discussions with the agent) will happen in time.”

According to a source, the Broncos are not interested in pursuing oft-injured veteran receivers Deebo Samuel or Cooper Kupp, who would come at a high acquisition price in terms of salary and a draft pick.

Nix injury update

The scheduled medical procedure that forced quarterback Bo Nix to opt out of the Pro Bowl festivities involved his ankle, multiple sources confirmed to The Post.

Nix, a fourth alternate for the Pro Bowl, did not want to interrupt his offseason schedule by delaying the surgery in January. It was characterized as a minor clean-up, similar to procedures several players have done after an NFL season. Nix has been a regular at the facility this offseason, facing no limitations in his workouts.

At this time a year ago, the Broncos were beginning their extensive homework that led them to drafting Nix 12th overall.

He impressed during his combine workout, but did not run. It was a surprise given his athleticism. Payton said on Tuesday that Nix skipped the running drills because of a turf toe injury.

As such, Nix’s speed was a pleasant surprise when he arrived for rookie minicamp. Nix posted 4,207 combined yards passing (3,775), rushing (430) and receiving (two) with 34 touchdowns.

Sanders’ inside job

The Broncos are moving forward with Drew Sanders at inside linebacker. He has bounced around during his Broncos career from inside to outside. A star in his first rookie minicamp in 2023, he was limited to four games last year as he recovered from offseason Achilles surgery.

“Right now he will be inside. Last year we kind of went into the offseason with the edge idea, and then we have kind of progressed enough where he’s going to work inside. It’s kind of how the season finished and we are going to keep him right there,” Payton said.

Sanders could push Cody Barton and Alex Singleton for playing time if the Broncos don’t pursue free agents like Philadelphia’s Zack Baun and Kansas City’s Nick Bolton.
