Demaryius Thomas to skip Peyton's Duke camp

Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas wont be attending Peyton Manning’s annual camp at Duke this year.

Just spoke to Demaryius Thomas — in L.A for Call of Duty charity event … he won’t work out at Duke w/Mannjng or be at offseason program.

Demaryius Thomas — “I’m getting getting my body right, still working through a little soreness in my Achilles, but I could run routes.”

Thomas also wont participate in any of the Broncos offseason workout programs as he has not signed his franchise tag yet. 

Not much to worry about here, Demaryius is already very comfortable with Peyton so taking care of his body should be the top priority. The Broncos and Thomas are hoping to get a long-term deal done before the July 15th deadline for tagged players to sign a multi-year deal. 

This could give other receivers an opportunity to mesh with Manning. Virgil Green, Owen Daniels, and Cody Latimer could all benefit greatly by spending extra time in the offseason with the future hall of famer.
