One of the biggest roster battles when Sean Payton first took the job with the Denver Broncos back in 2023 was at the kicker position. The Broncos had Brett Maher and Elliott Fry battling it out for the kicker job, but Payton hinted that the team was evaluating every other team's kicker battles, and that the opening day kicker for the Broncos may not be at camp with the team.
As fate would have it, the Broncos were able to swing a trade with Payton's old team -- the New Orleans Saints -- for veteran kicker Wil Lutz.
