Pat Surtain II dressed the part. On Monday night at Surtain’s “Football2Fashion” fundraiser, the Broncos starting cornerback was dressed in Bottega pants and boots with a red cardigan sweater as if he was about to walk down a runway of his own fashion show. Surtain’s fundraiser was meant to express his love for fashion while raising money for his foundation’s outreach programs.
“It came to mind based on my style and everyone coming together to raise money (for) the inner city youth to make sure they have the resources to fulfill their dreams,” Surtain told a small scrum of reporters at Social Capitol Events in Arvada. Before the start of the festivities, Surtain addressed his contract situation — a topic that will follow him throughout the 2024 campaign now that he is eligible for an extension. In April, the Broncos exercised Surtain’s fifth-year option, keeping him under contract through 2025.
Surtain, an unrestricted free agent in 2026, is likely to become one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in NFL history. Pro Football Focus and Over the Cap analyst Brad Spielberger told The Denver Post that Surtain could command an annual salary between $24.5 million and $27 million.
Surtain said he is mindful of his contract situation, but more focused on taking care of business on the field. “That time will come,” Surtain said. “I’m focused on being the best player I can be.
” Surtain is entering his fourth season with the Broncos and has yet to taste the feel.
