It turns out the Denver Broncos won’t have to find a new kicker this offseason.
After initially agreeing to a three-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier today, kicker Wil Lutz has changed his mind. Lutz now plans to sign a two-year deal with the Broncos instead, according to the Denver Gazette‘s Chris Tomasson.
“Lutz is still going to be a Bronco,” the kicker’s agent, John Perla, told Tomasson. “There was an original arrangement (with Jacksonville) and Wil just felt a certain loyalty to Denver and felt he would be more productive in a better spot in Denver.”
Players can make agreement with teams starting today, but no contracts can be officially signed until the NFL’s new league year begins Wednesday. “We didn’t have anything in writing,” Perla said of Lutz’s agreement with the Jags.
So, in a twist, Lutz will end up staying with the Broncos in 2024. There’s never a dull moment during the NFL’s free agency frenzy.
