Broncos Release K Connor Barth

The Denver Broncos announced the release of K Connor Barth on Wednesday to make room for G Evan Mathis, who they signed to a one-year deal.

Barth, 29, had two years remaining on his three-year, $1.84 million contract which included base salaries of $745,000 and $845,000 over the next two years.

This leaves Brandon McManus as the only kicker on the Broncos’ depth chart.

Denver elected to bring Barth in November of last year. He wound up appearing in five games for the Broncos and converting 15 of 16 field goals attempts include his only 50-yarder. Barth also converted all 15 extra point attempts last year.
