Broncos trade for Saints kicker Wil Lutz, sources say

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos have traded for New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz, team sources confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.

Compensation for the trade was not immediately known. The Broncos released Brandon McManus in May and when camp opened Elliott Fry and Brett Maher were competing for the job.

Fry then suffered an injury, was waived and Maher finished out the preseason as the team's only kicker. Maher was 4-of-6 in field goal attempts in the preseason and had a 52-yard attempt blocked in the preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals.
