The Denver Broncos have already filled the roster spot that was opened up by the release of kicker Brandon McManus on Tuesday.
The Broncos signed defensive lineman Tyler Lancaster on Tuesday, the team announced. Following that move, Denver’s 90-man offseason roster is now full once again.
Lancaster (6-3, 313 pounds) entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Northwestern with the Green Bay Packers in 2018. After four seasons in Green Bay, Lancaster joined the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022. He suffered an injury last August and was ultimately cut by the Raiders last September.
Lancaster totaled 110 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 59 games (21 starts) with the Packers. He now lands in Denver, presumably to compete for rotational playing time as a nose tackle.
The Broncos will eventually have to make a cut to make room for an incoming kicker to replace McManus. Whether that incoming kicker will be Brett Maher or somebody else remains to be seen.
