The Denver Broncos are signing kicker Elliott Fry, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero first reported on Wednesday afternoon. The Broncos later confirmed the news.
To make room for Fry on the 90-man offseason roster, Denver waived running back Tyreik McAllister.
Fry (6-0, 172 pounds) entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina with the Chicago Bears in 2019. He went on to spend time with nine other teams, appearing in three regular-season games from 2019-2020. In his career, Fry is 5-of-6 on field goal attempts with a long of 44 yards. Fry is 5-of-7 on extra point attempts in his career.
Fry will replace Brandon McManus, who was released by the team on May 23. McManus has since signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fry was among three kickers — joining Brett Maher and Parker White — who worked out for the team last week.
Elsewhere on the free agency front, undrafted running back Emmanuel Wilson signed with the Green Bay Packers after he was cut by the Broncos earlier this month.
Another undrafted player who went to Denver’s rookie minicamp, wide receiver Josh Johnson, has signed with the Barcelona Dragons of the European League of Football.
Meanwhile, former Broncos guard Dalton Risner and cornerback Ronald Darby remain unsigned free agents.
Fry should arrive in time for the team’s second week of organized team activities, which are set to kick off today.
