Broncos cut offensive lineman, host 3 kickers for workouts

The Broncos worked out three kickers on Wednesday and they cut OT Hunter Thedford to make room for OT Cam Fleming on the roster.

After cutting kicker Brandon McManus on Tuesday, the Denver Broncos quickly filled his former spot on the 90-man offseason roster by signing defensive lineman Tyler Lancaster.

After that, the Broncos agreed to terms on a one-year deal with backup swing tackle Cam Fleming. That signing became official on Wednesday. To make room for Fleming, Denver waived offensive tackle Hunter Thedford with an injury settlement.

Thedford had suffered a hip flexor injury and he will get a week of offseason pay as part of his release, according to the Denver Gazette‘s Chris Tomasson.

Tomasson also reported Wednesday that the Broncos brought in three kickers for workouts: Brett Maher, Parker White and Elliott Fry.

Denver is not expected to sign a kicker on Wednesday as the team continues to assess its options, according to Tomasson. Maher did take a physical, though, so that might be a sign that he could be in line to sign once the team opens up a spot on the roster.

Broncos bringing in kicker Parker White for workout

Parker White and Brett Maher will work out for the Broncos on Wednesday following the release of kicker Brandon McManus.

Brett Maher isn’t the only kicker who will work out for the Denver Broncos on Wednesday.

The Broncos are also bringing in Parker White, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. White, 24, went undrafted last spring and he had several tryouts with NFL teams but was not signed until after the 2022 season.

The Green Bay Packers gave White a reserve/future contract in January, but he was cut this week to make room for new running back Emanuel Wilson, who initially signed with Denver as a college free agent this spring but was cut after rookie minicamp.

White (6-5, 205 pounds) spent five seasons at South Carolina, earning second-team All-SEC recognition as a super senior in 2021. He scored a school-record 368 career points with the Gamecocks and had a career-long field goal of 54 yards.

White went 16-of-17 on field goal attempts in 2021 and 30-of-30 on extra point attempts in his final college season. He is now a candidate to replace Brandon McManus, who was released by the Broncos on Tuesday.

Packers release kicker Parker White, leaving only one kicker on roster

The Packers are down to one kicker on the 90-man roster: rookie Anders Carlson.

The Green Bay Packers released kicker Parker White on Monday, leaving only one kicker on the offseason 90-man roster.

Rookie Anders Carlson, a sixth-round pick out of Auburn, is the lone remaining kicker in Green Bay. Mason Crosby remains unsigned.

The Packers released White to make room for running back Emanuel Wilson.

White, who left South Carolina as the school’s all-time leader in points, was signed to a futures deal in January. He participated in minicamps for the Chiefs and Buccaneers but did not play in the NFL during the 2022 season.

The Packers taking Carlson in the sixth round — and his connections to special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia — made him the heavy early favorite to win the kicker job.

White’s departure leaves the Packers with five specialists: Carlson, punter Pat O’Donnell, punter Daniel Whelan, long snapper Matt Orzech and long snapper Broughton Hatcher.
