Maher was one of three kickers to work out for the Broncos on Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

The Broncos currently don't have a kicker on their roster after waiving Brandon McManus on Tuesday, prompting the team to bring in Maher, Elliott Fry and Parker White for evaluation. Maher's tenure in Dallas came to a close this offseason after he struggled mightily in the playoffs, but overall, he was solid in 2022 and made 31 of his 34 field-goal attempts across 19 games. Tomasson adds that Maher also underwent a physical Wednesday, and while no deal is imminent, Denver does at least appear interested in bringing in the 33-year-old for an extended look.

The Broncos are releasing McManus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 31-year-old has spent his entire career in Denver, playing 144 of a possible 146 regular-season games over nine years. McManus was scheduled for non-guaranteed base salaries of $3.65 million in 2023 and $3.85 million in 2024, so his release is likely about cap space more than performance. While his career 81.4 percent success rate on FG attempts is subpar by modern standards, McManus has attempted a ton of long-distance kicks due to his strong leg and the altitude in Denver, with tries of 50-plus yards accounting for 26.3 percent of his career volume (and 62.7 percent of his misses). It's unclear who will replace him in Denver, but with teams like the Cowboys and Rams lacking established kicking options, he may not be out of work for long.

Romo agreed to a contract with the Lions on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Romo signed with the Saints last year as an undrafted free agent, but he was let go ahead of the 2022 campaign. The Virginia Tech product impressed enough during a recent stint with the XFL's San Antonio Brahmas to earn an opportunity to compete for a spot on the Lions' Week 1 roster. He'll face an uphill battle to unseat Michael Badgley as Detroit's top placekicker.

Ryland has agreed to terms with the Patriots, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

The report notes that Ryland's deal is on track to be a four-year $4.626 million pact. Though the Patriots still currently roster veteran Nick Folk, given the team traded up eight spots in order to select the Maryland product in the fourth round (112th overall) of the 2023 NFL Draft, it's expected that New England will move forward this season with Ryland as the franchise's next kicker.

Dunn signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent Monday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

Dunn did not hear his name called during the 2023 Draft but will now join Los Angeles for the start of their offseason program. The Rams did not have a kicker on their roster heading into the draft, but they have now added both Dunn and Tanner Brown who will likely compete for the starting job.

Pittsburgh signed Potter as an undrafted free agent Sunday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Potter connected on 73 of his 97 field-goal attempts and 234 of 235 PATs during his career at Clemson. He made 34 tries from beyond 40 yards and nine attempts from 50-plus. The 23-year-old will compete with incumbent veteran Chris Boswell, who made just 71 percent of his field goals in 2022, for the starting placekicking job in 2023.

Folk now faces competition for the Patriots' kicking job following the selection of Chad Ryland in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

Folk, who turns 39 in November, is under contract with New England this coming season on the heels of a 2022 campaign in which he made 32 of his 37 field-goal attempts, while hitting 32 of his 35 extra-point tries in 17 games. As long as he remains on the team's roster, Folk will have a chance to compete for the team's kicking job, but given that the Patriots traded up to land Ryland, both Graff and Mike Reiss of ESPN.com consider the rookie the favorite to earn the assignment.

Podlesny is slated to sign with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent.

Podlesny led the nation with 151 points scored as a senior in 2022, going 26-for-31 (83.9 percent) on field goals and 73-for-74 (98.6 percent) on extra points, which earned him the SEC Special Teams Player of the Year award. He has experience kicking in high-stakes contests during Georgia's two straight national championship runs but had some hiccups along the way, including going 2-for-4 on field goals in Georgia's narrow victory over Ohio State in the 2022 College Football Playoff semifinal. He was consistent in extra points and demonstrated good hang time and touchback numbers on kickoffs but has struggled on longer kicks, making just 54 percent of his field-goal tries from 40-plus yards.

The Packers selected Carlson in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 207th overall.

Carlson is the younger brother of Daniel Carlson, who is one of the NFL's best kickers for the Raiders. The younger Carlson heads for a somewhat colder climate, where the Packers will presumably consider him as the potential successor to Mason Crosby. Carlson struggled with his accuracy at times at Auburn but has a great deal of kicking experience.

The Patriots selected Ryland in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 112nd overall.

The Patriots traded up with the Jets to make Ryland the second kicker selected in the 2023 NFL Draft. It's a curious decision given Nick Folk still remains on New England's roster, but with one year remaining on the two-year extension he signed back in March of 2022, it seems clear the Patriots are planning ahead when it comes to their specialists. Ryland transferred to Maryland in his final collegiate season and converted 19 of his 23 field-goal attempts, but he made just three of his six tries from 50-plus yards out.
