Player Notes

  • Needs to earn spot on roster
    Moore isn't a lock to make the 2024 roster, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher.

    Advice: The 2022 second-round pick has averaged 1.4 catches for 16.5 yards through 30 regular-season games, mostly serving as Kansas City's fourth or fifth wide receiver. It won't be surprising if Moore ends up earning a depth job again, though his fate partially depends on how things play out with the 2024 NFL Draft, Rashee Rice's legal situation, and Kadarius Toney's health, among other factors. Rice and free-agent signing Marquise Brown figure to play a lot when available, though neither can exactly be called reliable. Even so, Moore's lack of playing time and production through two seasons suggests he's not the most likely beneficiary in the event things go south for one of the team's starters. Kansas City seems optimistic about Toney and Justin Watson and might devote an early draft pick to the position. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:32 am

  • Visits with Chargers
    Chark visited the Chargers on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Advice: Few teams are more in need of wide receivers, with the Chargers having released Mike Williams and traded Keenan Allen earlier this offseason. Chark has never come close to matching his 1,008-yard, eight-TD performance in 2019 for Jacksonville, but he did top 500 yards both of the past two seasons in Detroit and Carolina, starting 21 of 26 games along the way. Chark will turn 28 in September and doesn't figure to command a large contract. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:53 am

  • No concern about OTA absence
    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 Friday, 6:36 am

  • Zay Flowers won’t face discipline from league
    The NFL announced Ravens WR Zay Flowers will not face league discipline after determining there was insufficient evidence to support Flowers’ involvement in anything that violated the league’s personal conduct policy.

    Advice: Flowers is eligible to participate in all team activities. The second-year receiver was temporarily under investigation for his alleged involvement in a domestic assault incident, but that investigation was ultimately suspended by the Baltimore County Police, and Flowers was never charged with anything. Flowers is coming off a rookie season in which he totaled 77 receptions for 858 yards and five touchdowns and is expected to take a significant leap forward in 2024. Rotoworld Thursday, 12:48 pm

  • Darius Slayton not present at voluntary workouts
    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
