The Broncos brought in Taylor Russolino as their emergency kicker.

The Broncos have signed an insurance policy for Brandon McManus, and considering the quarterback fiasco the team just underwent this makes a lot of sense.

McManus just signed a $17.2 Million extension and this new signing is no reflection of the team’s confidence in his leg, but it is a wise move to hedge their bets in case he becomes unavailable for a game or two.

Taylor Russolino is a great option to serve as an understudy at kicker, and he has an incredible leg.
