Broncos cut kicker Elliott Fry, sign a long snapper

The Denver Broncos have waived kicker Elliott Fry with an injury designation, the team announced Tuesday.

Fry and veteran Brett Maher had been competing for the kicker job during training camp this summer. Maher is now the lone kicker on the roster, but Denver’s kicker situation is far from settled.

Fry actually had a better preseason debut than Maher last week. Against the Arizona Cardinals, Fry missed a 50-yard attempt before later converting a 55-yard field goal and converting an extra point attempt.

Maher missed a 47-yard field goal attempt and had a 52-yard attempt blocked. He also converted his one extra point attempt.

If Maher continues struggling in preseason, the Broncos consider other options at kicker. Our latest 53-man roster prediction for Denver did not have Maher or Fry making the team. Instead, the Broncos could claim a kicker off waivers once initial 53-man rosters are set and cuts have been made.

To fill Fry’s former spot on the roster, Denver signed long snapper Jack Landherr, who tried out for the team at rookie minicamp earlier this year. Landheer will provide competition to incumbent long snapper Mitchell Fraboni. The 90-man offseason roster is now full.
