There wasn’t much doubt, but the Broncos have locked up their starting center for the 2016 season.

Matt Paradis signed his exclusive rights tender Thursday, ensuring he will be in camp when the Broncos offseason workouts begin Monday.

Paradis, a 2014 sixth-round pick, was the only Broncos player on offense or defense to play every snap this season.

In another roster move, the Broncos waived former University of Colorado tight end Nick Kasa with a non-football injury designation.

Kasa signed with the Broncos after the AFC championship game to simulate Panthers tight end Greg Olsen in practice during their Super Bowl 50 preparations for Carolina. Kasa will receive a Super Bowl ring.
