After parting ways with Brandon McManus earlier this offseason, the Denver Broncos signed Elliott Fry to a one-year contract and they invited Randy Bullock to try out at minicamp.
Fry and Bullock both looked good at minicamp last week, but so far Fry remains the only kicker on the 90-man offseason roster.
“That [kicker] job is pretty straightforward. The ball either goes through or it doesn’t,” Broncos special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica said on June 14.
“What was really cool today was to see both guys rise up. We hit a handful of kicks, and all of them were made. Elliott made all his, and Randy made all his. We’ll see how it shakes out. Again, it’s a work in progress, but I’m excited about that opportunity for those guys.”
Fry has just three games of regular-season experience while Bullock has 138 games on his resume.
“He has a lot of experience — Houston for a handful of years and Tennessee,” Kotwica said of Bullock. “He’s over an 83 percent kicker during his time [in the NFL]. He looked good today. Experience can help you, and like I said, we’ll see how it shakes out moving forward.”
The Broncos have made it clear this offseason that while Fry is the only kicker currently on the roster, he is not locked in for the job. Denver will continue to monitor the kicker market and if Fry struggles, the team will turn elsewhere, either with Bullock or another option stepping in.
