The Broncos are trading for Saints kicker Wil Lutz, reuniting him with Sean Payton, his former coach in New Orleans, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Payton, however, has been open about his willingness to wait and see what players would be available as roster cuts approached leaguewide. At kicker, he even got specific enough to say he would monitor"seven" kicking battles around the league.
Lutz, who is 29, spent five seasons as Payton's kicker with the Saints. Lutz did not kick in an NFL game in 2021 because of an injury and was 23-of-31 in field goal attempts last season for New Orleans, the worst percentage of his career. He was named to his only career Pro Bowl in 2019, when he was 32-of-36 in field goal attempts, including 16-of-20 on attempts of 40 yards or more, and 48-of-49 on extra points.
