Broncos GM George Paton suggested Thursday that he isn't worried about Sutton's absence from voluntary offseason workouts, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. "It's 100 percent voluntary," Paton said. "It's the first week of the offseason program. I've talked to Courtland. He's in a good place, and I'll just leave it at that."

Advice: Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Tuesday that Sutton's absence from voluntary OTAs is related to wanting a new contract. The wideout has two years and approximately $27.6 million remaining on his current deal, with only $2 million of that guaranteed. It's not the type of situation with especially high risk for a holdout, and Sutton looks to be especially important for Denver's offense after the team traded WR Jerry Jeudy to Cleveland in the offseason. It's not yet clear who will start across from Sutton at wide receiver, nor is it clear who will get the nod under center Week 1. The Broncos still have a lot to work out this spring and summer, with the upcoming NFL Draft presumably being a piece of that puzzle. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:36 am

Darius Slayton did not report to the Giants’ voluntary offseason workouts.

Advice: Slayton not reporting to voluntary workouts is a little less alarming than Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb not reporting, but their decision to stay away all comes from the same place. Like Jefferson and Lamb, Slayton is also in the final year of his contract and is in search of a long-term extension. Slayton, 27, has led the Giants in receiving in four of his last five seasons, and led the way with 50-770-4 in 2023. A deep threat who has averaged 15.2 YPR for his career, Slayton has gone for 740 or more yards in all but one season in his career, but doesn’t offer much in the way of consistent receiving production. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Giants re-up with Slayton on a deal that leaves both sides feeling satisfied, which shouldn’t come at too high a cost. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:37 pm

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Dolphins will exercise Jaylen Waddle’s fifth-year option.

Advice: Waddle has had a nice start to his career racking up at least 70 receptions and 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons. It’s no surprise the Dolphins’ GM Chris Grier will use the option on him and Jaelan Phillips who were both drafted in 2021. Waddle will remain a key cog in the Dolphins’ offensive machine, while being a better-than-average fantasy option. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:52 am

C.J. Stroud said Stefon Diggs will bring “wisdom” to the Texans receiver room.

Advice: Stroud said Tuesday that he was “very excited” when he heard Houston had acquired the disgruntled Diggs from the Bills. “He adds a ton of value to that room, a lot of wisdom that he carries that will spread to the other guys,” Stroud said, adding Diggs has reached out to Texans players over the past week. The Texans removed the final three years of Diggs’ contract, making his current contract a one-year deal. Headed into his age-31 season, coming off a down 2023 campaign, Diggs will compete for targets with Tank Dell and Nico Collins, both of whom are far better than any wideout Diggs played with in Buffalo.
